AudibleAt age 5 in a boarding school...
A sweeping coming of age saga set in South Africa during the late 1930's to the early 1950's. Young Peekay's life is certainly eventful and he encounters many fascinating characters along the way. Listened to the audio version which was masterfully read by Humphrey Bower.
This is in my top ten books of all time. READ IT!!!
Courtney knows how to develop characters and have them tug at your heart strings.
