Bloomsbury presents Frankie & Stankie by Barbara Trapido, read by Amy Noble.

Dinah and her sister Lisa are growing up in 1950s South Africa, where racial laws are tightening. They are two little girls from a dissenting liberal family. Big sister Lisa is strong and sensible, while Dinah is weedy and arty. At school, the sadistic Mrs Vaughan-Jones is providing instruction in mental arithmetic and racial prejudice. And then there's the puzzle of lunch break. "Would you rather have a native girl or a koelie to make your sandwiches?" a first-year classmate asks. But Dinah doesn't know the answer, because it's her dad who makes her sandwiches. As the apparatus of repression rolls on, Dinah finds her own way. As we follow her journey through childhood and adolescence, we enter into one of the darker passages of twentieth-century history.©2003 Barbara Trapido (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Recensioni della critica

A gorgeous book about growing up . . . it also manages to convey, with admirable lightness of touch, the dawning of a political consciousness . . . A wonderful read.
A beautifully written slice of both personal and political history . . . by the end of the novel, you are immersed in her world and simply never want to leave it.
A blissfully funny sequence of portraits, family upon family, vignette upon vignette.
