Product Description

Product Description
A collection of short stories - four previously published and three new - linked by the theme of young people experiencing personal dilemmas. All are set in South Africa, first under apartheid and then after the first democratic elections. They cover the period from 1950 to 2000 and reflect the lives of a range of young people, black and white, living in what was for many years seen as the world's most openly racist society.

About the Author

She is perhaps best-known for the award-winning book, JOURNEY TO JO'BURG, which has been translated intomany languages. NO TURNING BACK was shortlisted for The Guardian Prize, and her most recent novel, THE OTHER SIDE OF TRUTH won the Silver Medal in the Smarties Book prize. Beverley now lives in Bournemouth.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an amazing book. Everyone should read it!, 6 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Beverly Naidoo vividly captures the lives of some South Africans under Apartheid. I grew up listening to stories about this time from my relatives, and when I read Beverly's book, it was like bringing them to life. The things that she describes happened to so many people, for example the man who has to get re-classified.
The events start with the introduction of the Apartheid regime in 1948, and continue with the following significant dates. The book is written with a brilliant account of what happened, incorporated into different children's lives.
Everyone should definately read this book, young and old - for its historical value, the way it brings everything to life and most of all because it is a brilliant book!

5.0 out of 5 stars " A book in a Million" excellent!, 21 Aug 2001
Reviewed by Sarah Watson 15. Apartheid in South Africa, along and suffering time where thousands of South Africans struggle to gain justice against the white demoracy. Was it possible for this race war to come to a peaceful end for the fighting sides to exchange words instead of bullets? Apartheid inflicted unenecessary suffering on peole just because of their race. They were demeaned and humiliated ina manner i find hard to understand. Out of Bounds was a book complied of short stories, that slowly progress through time, from the early fifties too present day and describes the experiences of young people from a variety of differnt background, attempting to make sence of living in a country known for it's many years as an openly racist state. This book truly touched my heart and made me realise that even in this modern world South African Families are persecuted because of their colour. Aparthied may be over, victims of this vicious policy may have forgive their tormentors and opressors but racism still lives on and will continue. A truly wonderfully well written, unforgettable novel. Thank you Beverly!
