Tandia | Bryce Courtenay

Half-African, half-Indian and beautiful, Tandia is just a teenager when she is brutally attacked and violated by the South African police. Desperately afraid and consumed by hatred for the white man, Tandia seeks refuge in a brothel deep in the veld. There she learns to use her brilliant mind and extraordinary looks as weapons for the battles that lie ahead: she trains as a terrorist. But then Tandia meets a man with a past as strange as her own: Peekay, an Oxford undergraduate who is also the challenger for the world welterweight boxing championship - and a white man. And in a land where mixed relationships are outlawed, their growing love can only have the most explosive consequences.

Laura317 I've been thinking of getting the Mycroft Holmes book. It sounded intriguing. Plus, Abdul Kareem Jabar! 8y

So glad to revisit this magical place where the brutality of Apartheid took place. The Power of One is the first and tells of a white boy turned boxer who has a huge heart and love for all people. Tandia is the follow on story and has as many, or more, incredibly wonderful characters. The narrator, Humphrey Bower, is such a great story teller, but my favorite is how the author weaves in the history of the times among his diverse characters.

Penny_LiteraryHoarders Bryce Courtenay is a go-to author whenever I'm in a slump. The Whitethorn is another great piece of storytelling!

Bethsh Thanks for that!! I added it to my Audible library! 8y
Bethsh Finished it and I have to say I was disappointed in the end. If seemed too rushed, and I'm not sure there was sense to it 8y
Curiouser_and_curiouser I loved Humphrey Bower as the narrator too, a perfect choice for these 2 books! 5y
