Essential if you want to understand the Apartheid era
A magnificent story of the cultures, politics, intrigue and complexities of South Africa from pre WW2 till Apartheid became the order of the day.
- it will help the uninformed understand to sense of duty to the a nation, then a Republic & it’s Calvinistic yet racially oppressive national culture vs the communist inspired savage revolution that has resulted in a beautiful nation being turned to ashes, that became the inheritance of future generations, 30 years after Wilbur Smith penned this book in 1988…
A stunning read and magnificently narrated.
A must read ….

Compelling
Although I would rate this the weaker story in the series, it’s still a compelling and powerful tale. Portraying the birth of apartheid and the struggle against it, with the usual characters playing important roles. The narration of Sean Barrett is superb yet again.

I lived those years
Unbelievable how much fact is written into Wilbur Smiths books. Takes me back. with this outstanding book the grip it had on me is beyond words. I highly recommend you read these books in sequence to fully grip the interwoven lives of the people. Although fictitious this book has depicted actual events. Brilliant as always.

A great book from one of the great writers
Although I have an interest in South African history, especially the period of apartheid and the incarceration of many black leaders, this book is more than that. Like all Smith’s Courtenay series books, this is one of his greatest - perhaps for me because it is in my lifetime - but also because the plot is so crafted and interwoven around the family and it’s characters so vivid, both flawed and exotic. Sean Barrett is the perfect narrator for Wilbur Smith and although struggled at times in his earlier books is now well accomplished with the accents and characterisation. His delivery is almost flawless. Overall one of better books I have listened to. I put these two together up with Dickens for storytelling. Never a dull moment and always a morality tale.

Fantastic read!
Wonderful to experience the complexities of South African history though the eyes and lives of the characters in the book - some fictional characters, many real - a riveting tapestry!

Barret plus Wilbur Smith
what another incredible performance by Sean Barret. what a rare talent. And what a rich and wonderful story telling by Wilbur Smith depicting South Africa during apartheid. I can't stop listening to this multi generational multi book series with a story set across a century and more. these characters feel almost real to me.
