BOOK 1. EMMA
My brief summary of the book is... The book is about a young Coloured girl, Emily Kleintjies challenging the apartheid political system of South Africa. She marries a European man, and has a daughter. Marla.
She becomes involved in fighting the Apartheid system with the help of a friend, Charlie Stuart. She is threatened by the Security Police who inform her that they will no longer ‘provide protection for you or your family,’ and then poison her dog, Gamboo.
BOOK 2 . MARLA
Marla growing up as a European in a town called Potchefstroom, is encouraged by Emma to ‘make as many friends among the Afrikaans community as you can. The only way to overcome apartheid is from within, not direct confrontation.’
Marla fights the Hendrik Verwoerd apartheid system as a University student. She only learns towards the end of the book that her mother's family are Coloured.
The target readership is... Anyone and everyone interested in the Political system of South Africa during the apartheid era, and life in South Africa, during that era.
My name is Jacob Singer. 90% of the story in the book is based on actual events, that I have observed during my life in South Africa and England.
