Excellent read. Not one that I would have run into otherwise. Other than 'Cry, the Beloved Country' (Alan Paton) have I forayed into South African literature. Well, maybe history of the Boer War, but that is a different subject and viewpoint all together.
A bit vulgar in some instances and the POV of the young protagonist seems to be a bit over-blown for his age in the early stages of the novel, but a compelling story and growth-narrative nonetheless.
Thanks Bodie!
