Troy Blacklaws's follow-up to his internationally acclaimed Karoo Boy is the bittersweet tale of a South African boy coming of age during apartheid.

Gecko's childhood is one of sheltered, almost magical innocence on a farm in Natal. He spends his days taking barefoot expeditions with his dogs and his nights listening to Springbok Radio, unaware of the cruel force in his life that apartheid will soon become. With the start of high school in the Cape, Gecko is thrust into a political and personal awakening that is both tragic and heartfelt. With conscription into the South African army looming over him, Gecko's future is as uncertain as his country's. Blood Orange evokes the absurdity, longing, and fear of growing up white in the last decades of apartheid.

The author is skilled at catching the sites and sounds of a past era in SA, esp. the 70s/80s. For a South African abroad wanting to be reminded of home it will evoke all sorts of memories.
My one big issue with the audio version is that the reader from a different part of the world did not make the effort to learn how to pronounce far too many of the words.
