Story about 2 girls growing up in 1950's South Africa and how they are affected by apartheid. Once you start this book it's difficult to put it down.

Thanks to my new friend Teachie for sending me this book. I have loved all the other books by Barbara Trapido and I'm so looking forward to this one!

Taken out of lellie's Recent Fiction book box.
This is one of those books I have been wanting to read and not read yet, so here goes!

Finally got round to reading this book and loved it! It's one of those books that's great to read to find out more about what happened in the past and how that has determined why things are as they are now, but done in such a way that it's incredibly readable, a really great read. I loved all the characters, and really didn't want to leave them at the end! This is the first of Barbara Trapido's books that I have read, and will definitely try another.

RELEASE NOTES:

As this book was shortlisted for the Whitbread Novel Award 2003, popped into the Prize Winner's Book Box for someone else to enjoy.

I know you're not suuposed to judge them by their covers, but the front of this book caught my eye, and when I read the blurb it sounded really interesting, so I've taken it from the prize winners bookbox to try.
