Smoke Of Forgiveness: "The songbirds' revenge"

Many people, whether South African or of an international readership, whether black or white, will be interested in reading this true-life tale of the often forgotten rural farm workers who were probably the worst off during the apartheid era. The shocking reality of life for these people is almost unbelievable today; that such barbarism was allowed and accepted as “normal” is unfathomable. The unsung plight of farm labourers who were treated like slaves is one that should be more widely told. This book seems to have a bit of everything and will appeal to a wide audience with its clever marriage of good storytelling with history, culture, adventure, bravery, romance and of course inspiration. The importance of education also comes through and the clear message that it does not matter where you come from or who you are, if you are determined and driven and persevere, you can achieve great things. The book takes one on a journey and it will elicit many emotions from readers who will be appalled, delighted, saddened, uplifted and inspired by its words.
