Book excerpt: When Paul and Dominique are sent to boarding schools, their idyllic childhood on a South African farm is over. Their parents' leftist politics has made life impossible in the local town school. Angry schoolboy Paul is a promising poet, his sister his confidante. But his literary awakening turns into a descent. He flees the oppression of South Africa, only to meet his death in London. Dominique Botha's poignant debut is an elegy to a rural existence and to her brother - both now forever lost. The novel is based on true events.
