Song of Be (Puffin Fiction) 1 review Lesley Beake
Puffin, 1995
Song of Be, an amazing tale . . .
Song of Be is an extraordinary book. You have to read it over at least twice to fully understand it, but its worth it. It focuses on the life of a young African girl, a bushman, who moves to a farming plantation with her mother. She finds out to much about her past, and pays a harsh price for ...

July's People 45 reviews Nadine Gordimer
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1982
Not an Easy Read
+ Village People + Challenging, for some
I bought a copy of Nadine Gordimer's "July's People" shortly before my husband and I made our first trip to South Africa. I must confess I found the first chapter quite difficult to comprehend. I decided to put the book aside and read it after I had been in the country for a while, hoping I would ...
