Summary

’n Nuwe lewe wag op hom. 

In 1939 bars die oorlogbom in Europa. Drie miljoen kinders word uit London ontruim na veiliger gebiede. Een van hulle is die sesjarige Charles Smith, op pad na ’n onbekende tante van sy pa in ’n klein dorpie in Skotland. By aunty Grace wag ’n nuwe lewe op hom. Aan die anderkant van Europa ruk die Duitse Sesde Leër op teen Rusland. Tussen die manskappe is die vurige majoor Oswald von Stein, Hildegard se stiefseun. Voor hulle wag die Russiese winter, Stalingrad en die krygsgevangenekampe van Siberië. 90 000 word gevange geneem, net sesduisend oorleef. Charles en Oswald beleef teenoorgestelde kante van die oorlog. Beide bevind hulself egter op pad na ’n plaas in Afrika waar hul paaie sal kruis met dié van Seretse Khama en Mentje de Vries.

Please note: This title is in Afrikaans.

Wat 'n ervaring!

Dit voel asof ek die karakters persoonlik leer ken het, en saam met hulle tydens die oorlog in Europa was

Briljant!

Loved this book, especially because I could enjoy it in my own language! So wish the rest of the trilogy could be narrated in Afrikaans as well. I've read them all and they were brilliant.

Endlessly depressing.

The farm in Afrika only constitutes the last bit of the book, by which time I was so unbelievably depressed by the endless torturous saga in Siberia… the relevance of which remains very vague. I liked the Scottish characters and stories though.
