One member who lived in South Africa, felt guilty about how much racism was a way of life. Wonderfully told from a childs point of view and remembrance. Waikanae 002 A fantastic read about an interesting time in history. Auckland 107 A great read, how well she wrote about what to her was a 'normal' childhood, to us it was amazing and disturbing. It gave the book a fresh and honest feel and left the reader to analyse if they wanted. We generally liked that the author chose description over analysis e.g. We think it's our favourite so far this year. The whole group appreciated reading this book. A story of bravado, driven by fire-in-the-belly love of Africa. The author vividly recollects her extraordinary childhood in southern Africa where terrorism, curfews, ambushes and the AK-47 are part of the vocabulary of daily life. ![]()
