Journal Entry 1 by brewcoffeeshop from Preston, Lancashire United Kingdom on Thursday, August 4, 2005
From Amazon:
Dinah and her sister Lisa are growing up in South Africa in the fifties - a time of dreadful changes. Dinah is weedy and doesn't much like eating. Lisa is an angel-face who likes chocolate sprinkles on bread. It is at school that Dinah first learns about racism. 'What would you rather have - a native girl or a koelie to make your sandwiches?' a little girl asks. Dinah doesn't know what she's talking about, because it's her dad who makes her sandwiches. As we follow Dinah from childhood, through adolescence and marriage, to voluntary exile in London, we get a vivid glimpse of one of the darker passages of twentieth century history.

Found this in my local coffee shop, wasn't really looking for a book as I've still got the 2 fattest novels in the world to finish, but it sounded really good and I couldn't resist it.... So it might be some time before this will get rereleased...But it's in safe hands, honest!!!!
