'Another triumph from Dave Boling' Daily Mail
At the turn of the twentieth century, during the Second Boer War, the British imprisoned thousands of families, including Aletta Venter's, in newly devised 'concentration camps'.
In a crowded tent with her mother and siblings, Aletta finds ways to cope with the confinement, deprivation and loss, but searches for the rarest of comforts - a bit of adolescent normalcy, perhaps even the spark of forbidden romance. Her weapon of choice in this personal battle: a young girl's powerful sense of hope.
The Undesirables (the British term for those who refused to surrender) is the heart-rending yet life-affirming new book from the top ten bestselling author of Guernica, winner of the Richard & Judy Summer Read.
'This enthralling novel . . . captures with raw vividness the emotions stirred by war and loss' The Lady
