Description

‘Before the first canary comes down…’

When they first met, the three young boys carried footballs; played soccer in the backyard together. But as young adults, their country’s political situation dictates very different paths for the three friends. 

The First Canary is an extraordinary and epic tale of interweaving lives, self-discovery and friendship persevering despite the odds. Set in war-torn South Africa, the story follows a whole host of connected characters, from unwilling conscripts Cliff and Zeb, to Brenda, who is determined to find her birth parents, to Josh, an aspiring journalist whose dreams are threatened by a terrifying diagnosis.
