Godforsaken Crocodile Flats is the last place on earth where you'd expect any marvel, so when Sweetness Moloi believes she saw the Virgin Mary there - all nice and brown like real people - who's going to believe her?
But lo, the good news spreads like wildfire, and soon all hell breaks loose. Every sect and faction want in on the action, there is fierce competition for the elusive glory and hordes of journalists, pilgrims and the just plain curious flock to the troublesome village.
In this small corner of the Rainbow Nation, so desperately in need of a miracle, jealousy tumbles over hypocrisy to end up – miraculously – in a state of grace.

What's it like to drive a car that's actively trying to kill you?
This and many other burning questions trouble Jeremy Clarkson as he sets out to explore the world from the safety of four wheels.
Avoiding the legions of power-crazed traffic wombles attempting to block highway and byway, he:
* shows how the world of performance cars may be likened to Battersea Dogs' Home
* reveals why St Moritz may be the most bonkers town in all of the world
* reminds us that Switzerland is so afraid of snow that any flakes falling on the road are immediately arrested
* argues that washing a car is a waste of time
Funny, globe-trotting, irreverent and sometimes downright rude, Round the Bend is packed with curious and fascinating but otherwise hopelessly useless stories and facts about everything under the sun (and just occasionally cars). It's Jeremy Clarkson at his brilliant best.
