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.

A Compelling Read
A gripping story from beginning to end. It tells the story of a racially divided society. Tandia’s fight to earn her place in the world as a beautiful, smart young lady and the awful struggle to achieve personal security against a hateful policeman. It contrasts the rewards for some in the boxing world and a love in the legal world. Bryce Courtney is a master wordsmith creating the gripping narrative that holds your attention from beginning to end. Compelling reading enhanced by a great narrator
I have never written a review for any of the many books I have selected on Audible but I must for this book. Don’t miss this one

A fascinating journey..
Thoroughly enjoyable book exceptionally well narrated. A fascinating snapshot of a time in history from an African perspective. Well developed complex characters that are easily relatable through all of their trials. There is a bit of all of us in this tale..

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.
