I read this book in the mid 1980s while aparthied was in full force. At the time, the book was a banned book in SA. It is an amazing story told in the first person. A Must read for anyone planning a trip to South Africa, or if you want to truly understand what the day-to-day existence was like under full-blown apartheid.

Highly recommend
