War Child - A Novel

Paperback. English. Justified Press, Johannesburg 1991. 249pp. In fair/good condition.

War Child is an extraordinarily sensitive novel, the story of James Esslin who is part of everything but apart from everyone. At once the story of every adult's lost childhood and a superb portrait of character in formation -- and disintegration -- War Child is told in a way that makes a lost colonial world vividly real.
