The World Beneath: A Novel

The World Beneath: A Novel

At the height of South Africaâ€™s anti-apartheid struggle, a boy must face life decisions that test what he believesâ€”and call for no turning back.

South Africa, 1976. Joshua lives with his mother in the maidâ€™s room, in the backyard of their wealthy white employersâ€™ house in the city by the sea. He doesnâ€™t quite understand the events going on around him. But when he rescues a stranger and riots begin to sweep the country, Joshua has to face the world beneathâ€”the world deep inside himâ€”to make heartbreaking choices that will change his life forever. Genuine and quietly unflinching, this beautifully nuanced novel from a veteran journalist captures a childâ€™s-eye view of the struggle that shaped a nation and riveted the world.
