| Description: | Select Guide Rating Powerful historical literary fiction set in South Africa during the Boer War that follows a girl''s struggle to survive after she and her family are interned in a British concentration camp. Corlie Roux''s farm life in South Africa is not easy: the Transvaal is beautiful, but it''s also a harsh place where the heat can be so intense that the very raindrops sizzle. When her beloved father dies, she is left with a mother who is as devoted to her sons as she is cruel to her daughter. Despite this, Corlie finds solace in her friend, Sipho, and in Africa itself and in the stories she conjures for her brothers. But Corlie''s world is about to vanish: the British are invading and driving Boer families like hers from their farms. |
