Publishers Description: The time is 1939. White South Africa is a deeply divided nation with many of the Afrikaner people fanatically opposed to the English. The world is also on the brink of war and South Africa elects to fight for the Allied cause against Germany. Six-year-old Tom Fitzsaxby finds himself in The Boys Farm, an orphanage in a remote town in the high mountains, where the Afrikaners side fiercely with Hitlers Germany. Toms English name proves sufficient for him to be ostracised, marking him as an outsider. And so begin some of lifes tougher lessons for the small, lonely boy.
