“The Power of One has everything: suspense, the exotic, violence; mysticism, psychology and magic; schoolboy adventures, drama.”
–The New York Times

“Unabashedly uplifting . . . asserts forcefully what all of us would like to believe: that the individual, armed with the spirit of independence–‘the power of one’–can prevail.”
–Cleveland Plain Dealer


In 1939, as Hitler casts his enormous, cruel shadow across the world, the seeds of apartheid take root in South Africa. There, a boy called Peekay is born. His childhood is marked by humiliation and abandonment, yet he vows to survive and conceives heroic dreams–which are nothing compared to what life actually has in store for him. He embarks on an epic journey through a land of tribal superstition and modern prejudice where he will learn the power of words, the power to transform lives, and the power of one.


“Totally engrossing . . . [presents] the metamorphosis of a most remarkable young man and the almost spiritual influence he has on others . . . Peekay has both humor and a refreshingly earthy touch, and his adventures, at times, are hair-raising in their suspense.”
–Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Marvelous . . . It is the people of the sun-baked plains of Africa who tug at the heartstrings in this book. . . . [Bryce] Courtenay draws them all with a fierce and violent love.”
–The Washington Post Book World

“Impressive.”
–Newsday

“A compelling tale.”
–The Christian Science Monitor


·         Publishers Weekly

·         ``Episodic and bursting with incident, this sprawling memoir of an English boy's lonely childhood in South Africa during WW II pays moderate attention to questions of race but concerns itself primarily with epic melodrama,'' noted PW. (Apr.)

Wish we could talk face to face, as I am so far behind with my email correspondence. I find personal quick comments in person and even in face book, a huge time saving from the traditional letter or email.

So many people think of face book for instance, as a waste of time and yet to me, it is a great time saver. So much quicker and friendly to do a fast status update, share a bit of humour, and say a quick good morning and goodnight to friends, than to reply to a long stream of emails. I love my face book accounts.

Emails on the other hand, build up and I have trouble replying to all of them. I have had so many emails in my email box today, everything from having won two major lotteries, lol, and funny that my friends won the same lotteries. We all inheriting a few million as the sole heir from varied sources, just supply all my bank details.

Sharing the Humour on Facebook, please join my Kathy Shell, fan club, I would LOVE to see you there and I share prizes with my readers..
Then there were the legitimate, emails, some from my friends. My apologies if I have not replied yet. There is the forum message I follow and heaps of others, some mentioning, http://www.coloncleanser.net or big pond or EBay sales, and so I am settling in to an evening, of writing, tonight to catch up and try to empty, my overladen, email box. So if you are wondering why I have not replied to an email, I will catch up with it soon.
