Description
At their Johannesburg school, two small boys are the kings of their small and perfect world. It is the 1950s and life is full of playground games and weekend scrapes. But this cosy life of certainty disintegrates as the new apatheid regime begins to squeeze their Catholic community. It is out of this savage oppression that the two boys will grow into men: one a terrorist and the other an impresario collaborating with the same government that shatter both of their young lives...
CHRISTOPHER HOPE was born in Johannesburg in 1944. He is the author of nine novels and one collection of short stories, including Kruger’s Alp, which won the Whitbread Prize for Fiction, Serenity House, which was shortlisted for the 1992 Booker Prize.
