Thomas More Book

If you have the courage to brave the dark without a candle, this slim volume is well worth the effort. At once disturbing and courageous, it combines an eloquent description of life under colonial rule, the landscapes and mores of Africa and India, and the inner conflicts of a child traumatised by a violent sexually predatory father and a cold self-centred mother. Gripping and evocative it will hold your attention effortlessly.
