Back to Villa Park

This is a sensitive story about a young white boy in Johannesburg and his hopes and dreams. It is about tragedy, affirmative action, depression and prejudice. Dirk, the main protagonist suffers hardship and loneliness but eventually comes to realise that everyone deserves to be treated fairly and without prejudice. Robson writes with her usual empathy and understanding, and her characters are well-defined and credible.
