About this listen

Tandia is a child of all Africa: half Indian, half African, beautiful and intelligent, she is only 16 when she is first brutalized by the police. Her fear of the White man leads her to join the Black resistance movement. With her in the fight for justice is the one White man Tandia can trust, the welterweight champion of the world, Peekay. Now he must fight their common enemy in order to save both their lives.

After listening to Brother Fish, I wanted to experience another Bryce Courtnay novel and this did not disappoint.
The amazing characters once again drew me in and I felt the struggle of black South Africans.
Tandia experienced terrible brutality, but her strength of character helped her survive.
Another great story, brilliantly read. Don't miss it.

Another triumph

I first read this book when I was a teenager and fell in love with it, what a pleased to listen to it years later. Bryce Courtenay is a wonderful writer and Humphrey Bower is a brilliant narrator. I would 100% recommend this book, but make sure you read/listen to The Power of One first. You are guaranteed to enjoy this incredible journey full of all sorts of emotions. I will take the journey again sometime!

Incredible.

A wonderful epic novel. The characters are real and vivid digging deep into their souls for truth and resolve. "First with the Head, then with the Heart!".
Mr Bower is the master storyteller whose books are worth seeking. Another fabulous narration.

Extraordinary Tandia

After the inspiring triumph of the power of one, the joy it brought me to read as a boy the first time and the second day as a young man I thought the same of tandia. Yet as it progresses you come across one crushing g truth, the knowledge that the Timine of South Africa and the book mean there can be no triumph for these people. The only thing that saves you is k own g that they are right and just. The feeling of helplessness and sorrow and human nature so brilliantly captured in this book resonates today. We must be and can be better. We should never hate as hate is all destroying. Just bloody brilliant book

The most head bangingly upsetting story ever. <br />
