In 1939, as Hitler casts his enormous, cruel shadow across the world, the seeds
of apartheid take root in South Africa. There, a boy called Peekay is born. His
childhood is marked by humiliation and abandonment, yet he vows to survive and
conceives heroic dreams–which are nothing compared to what life actually has in
store for him. 

“Totally engrossing . . . [presents] the metamorphosis of a most remarkable
young man and the almost spiritual influence he has on others . . . Peekay has
both humor and a refreshingly earthy touch, and his adventures, at times, are
hair-raising in their suspense.” – Los Angeles Times Book Review
