註釋This partly historical novel provides an unusual look at ethnic rivalries during the apartheid era in South Africa. How does Johan, a young Afrikaner, find friendship and self-respect in a predominantly English-speaking community? How does he win the trust of Herbert, the son of his neighbour's black housemaid? What lies in store for him at hands of the Special Branch and an interesting English girl at university, where he falls in and out of love? How does he come to work on a building site in London, and to address the crowds at Speakers' Corner on the tragic events of the main Anglo-Boer war? What happens to Herbert? And does a chance meeting in London with Alice, his teenage flame but the daughter of disapproving parents, lead to the promise of happiness?
