Has anyone read this book? It's by Bryce Courtenay.
A film has been made about it too.

Yes

The book is brilliant and the movie is pretty good too

There is also a follow up, I think it's called Thandia or something similar. I used to have it but lost it when I moved to Denmark

I found the book quite enjoyable, have known about the sequel Thandia, but have not read it.

Seen the movie. The book was a great deal better than the movie.

One of the more enjoyable books I have read

:bookclub:

One of the best books I've ever ever read. Thandia (the sequel) is a bit grim but if you know that his son was dying of AIDS while he was writing it you can kind of understand it.

All his books are absolutely brilliant and I can not wait for the latest - Borhter FIsh to come out in paperback!

I recently saw the film & now would like to read the book.

Thanks for the replies.
