About this listen

Tandia is a child of all Africa: half Indian, half African, beautiful and intelligent, she is only 16 when she is first brutalized by the police. Her fear of the White man leads her to join the Black resistance movement. With her in the fight for justice is the one White man Tandia can trust, the welterweight champion of the world, Peekay. Now he must fight their common enemy in order to save both their lives.

Incredible!

Better than power of one. So sad that it ended. The story kicks off right where power of one ends. I really recommend!

Exquisitely read, powerful story.

I never knew a ‘sequel’ to the famous ‘Power of One’ movie existed! Tandia continues the story of Peekay in a very satisfying way. Bryce Courtenay is a master of creating a cast of beautiful heart-warming characters, Dickensian in scope. Humphrey Bouwer, who reads all Courtenay’s novels deserves the Academy Award for Best Voice Actor. Having listened to Bouwer read 7 of Courtenay’s novels I can’t praise highly enough his powerful, evocative reading voice and his mastery of so many fascinating and endearing accents.

Exceptional Struck many cords throughout the book

Brought back memories of the locations and a perspective not understood when growing up in the 70's.
