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.

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.

A complex case study of racismin South Africa
A firstperson narrative ofaboy's tragedies and triumphs through childhood up to young adulthood. Pk, the main character learns to survive boarding school, born again christianity and racism and apartheid which was so much a part of South Africa. He finds and looses friends but always triumphs through his own abilities and resilience. We meet inspiration characters, who believe in the potential of this clever, and often lonely boy growing to be a man. Sometimes, the characterisation of a child seems to be lost, as the dialogue is mature and the ideas being described are well developed. Narration is great - Humphrey Bauer's voice is gravelly, and he uses it to create a range of nuanced accents from Zulu through Afrikaans to to English aristocracy.

Beautifully read
I hate boxing and the graphic descriptions of the many bouts were painfully endured however I’d somehow missed reading this sequel to the Power of One and thoroughly enjoyed it. I lived in Rhodesia and Kenya and frequently visited SA in the 70’s so could well understand the complexity of the relationships between black, coloured and white. Well written as always by Bryce Courtney
