Summary

"First with your head and then with your heart." So says Hoppie Groenewald, boxing champion, to a seven-year-old boy who dreams of being the welterweight champion of the world. For the young Peekay, it is a piece of advice he will carry with him throughout his life.

Born in a South Africa divided by racism and hatred, this one small boy will come to lead all the tribes of Africa. Through enduring friendships with Hymie and Gideon, Peekay gains the strength he needs to win out. And in a final conflict with his childhood enemy, the Judge, Peekay will fight to the death for justice.

Editor's review

Why You Should Download This Audiobook: Good character dramas are best shared with others, like good wine on special occasions. Bryce Courtenay's wonderful story of a child coming of age in a country ripped apart by racism is such a vintage—rich and complex, an experience you'll want to talk about long after the last words are spoken.

I have now listened to this four times. It has never failed to draw tears. To inspire. To make me stop what I am doing and smile. PK is a wonderful character. There are no points that I can find to criticise.

I fully recommend listening to Tandida to find out what happens next.

Thank you for an inspiring story and à heartfelt performance . This story and the people within it will stay with me always.

An amazing and uplifting book
