Summary

Fleeing persecution in Poland, a young Jewish family settles in England, where two brothers begin work in a cigarette factory. Enduring poverty and scant support from their father after their mother dies, the brothers decide to take matters into their own hands and set sail for Africa.

It is 1891 when Morris and David, both young teenagers, arrive in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. With neither family nor friends, they decide to try their hands in the cigarette business, the only thing they know. They befriend Nguni, a large and well-muscled man of the Xhosa tribe, who leads them into the African bush to find a tobacco farming community and offers protection from the dangers of wild animals that they never even knew existed.

With the solid grounding their parents instilled in them during their upbringing, the boys learn to adapt and accept Africa's ways, her people, and her cultures. Taking on a life filled with danger, mystery and strange customs is one thing, but can they take on an international corporation and survive?

This book is based on a true story.

Compelling Read

Wonderfully paced adventure of two brothers starting a new life with little to no knowledge of what Southern Africa in the 1890’s beholds. Meeting with strangers. Who can they trust or not trust? An array of wonderful characters who are brought to life by narrator Adrian Galley, whose excellent ability with accents adds to their personalities. Book 1 completed and very much looking forward to Book 2.

The story flowed in a really good manner

It’s a great read of courage, grit and determination. I can not wait to go through the rest of the series
