This coming-of-age story was selected as one of the Notable Books of the Year (1986) by The New York Times Book Review. In its review earlier that year, The Times said "Freed's guileless child-narrator takes us inside the neurosis of South Africa." The Washington Post remarked "Here's a rarity: a novel about childhood and adolescence that never lapses into self-pity, that rings true ... that regards adults sympathetically if unsparingly, that deals with serious thematic material, and that is quite deliciously funny. Home Ground is all this and more."
Freed's guileless child-narrator takes us inside the neurosis [of the country].

reviewed Home Ground on February 25, 2021 Home Ground
A friend had recommended this title after we read Trevor Noah's Born A Crime in our book club. Home Bound is set in the 1950s-1960s during apartheid and told through the voice of a wealthy young white girl, through her adolescence and journey into a young woman.
In the background we meet poor white persons, as well as persons from the African and Indian communities. Her awakening as she ages to the racial disparities is sharp and confusing and, at times, incredibly shocking, to see an event described by the mind of a child, with only the understanding of a young, affluent white mind.
