Publisher's summary

’n Nuwe lewe wag op hom.

In 1939 bars die oorlogbom in Europa. Drie miljoen kinders word uit London ontruim na veiliger gebiede. Een van hulle is die sesjarige Charles Smith, op pad na ’n onbekende tante van sy pa in ’n klein dorpie in Skotland. By aunty Grace wag ’n nuwe lewe op hom. Aan die anderkant van Europa ruk die Duitse Sesde Leër op teen Rusland. Tussen die manskappe is die vurige majoor Oswald von Stein, Hildegard se stiefseun. Voor hulle wag die Russiese winter, Stalingrad en die krygsgevangenekampe van Siberië. 90 000 word gevange geneem, net sesduisend oorleef. Charles en Oswald beleef teenoorgestelde kante van die oorlog. Beide bevind hulself egter op pad na ’n plaas in Afrika waar hul paaie sal kruis met dié van Seretse Khama en Mentje de Vries.

Please note: This title is in Afrikaans.

Great research done!

Truly enjoyable story, with historic bits. The German and Tswana words great to hear, even thow not well pronounced, still had an emotional effect on the reader!

Goeie storielyn

Aangenaam verras. Verteller se vroulike rolle was minder oortuigend en het soms 'n robot stemtoon gehad.

Excellent story

Irma Joubert brilliantly told the 2 stories of the 2 men on opposite sides of World War II. The reader assumes that their paths would cross. At times this seems almost impossible, yet the 2 stories evolve quite realistically and believably to end on a farm in Africa. Excellently told, set in respective milieu and events that were thoroughly researched and expertly woven into the book. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narration is quite good, although a little more could have been made of the various European accents.

Pragtig

My gunsteling Afrikaanse skrywer. Hoe goed om na een van Irma Joubert se boeke in Afrikaans op Audible te luister. Ek kon nie ophou luister nie.

Pragtige storie met 'n pragtige stem

Lekker om te luister terwyl jy jouself kan inleef. Die verteller doen 'n uitstekende werk. Dit sal lekker wees om na die ander boeke in die reeks deur dieselfde verteller te luister.
Wel gedaan!!

So so mooi!

Dankie Irma en Anton. I have not read or listened to a book in my mother tongue for over 20 years. This book pulled at so many of my heart strings and it was absolutely delightful to listen to.
