Set in a small South African farming district, the novel explores the themes of colour-prejudice and social intolerance. The author's skillful use of dialogue is one of the strengths of the book, and the finely drawn characters move the action at a fast pace. The story revolves around a long-suppressed family secret that emerges many years later, demanding complete commitment to the narrative until the last page is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 364g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 227 x 18 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780620916424                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"N HERRINGTON","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44095333662970,"sku":"9780620916424","price":7.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/thorn-child-the","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
