In this splendid bildungsroman the author writes of a near idyllic childhood in Cape Town. The prose is engaging and enchanting, recreating a lost world of almost perfect innocence. There's a great combination of intimate characterization and descriptive scene setting in a middle class family enjoying life in a landscape still new to them. A text full of poignant, endearing moments and well-placed empathy.
