Whitethorn - Bryce Courtnay
This was a pretty good holiday read, nothing quite as powerful as “The Power of One” but still there is the same sense of justice gained. Have not read this style for a while which was a good change from the usual. I do admit that some of the narrative side tracks got boring for me, but I enjoyed most it, yep I skimmed some of the pages till it got back to the main story.
The stories of the times about South Africa, Rhodesia, Kenya and racism between blacks, coloureds and whites was very true to stories provided from my family when they came to Australia to get away from all that. Liked the legal wind up at the end and the final two characters.
Borrowed from Grandpa Eric, via Mum.
