Summary

Towards the end of the Great Depression a young boy goes with his sister to stay at a farm while their mother is ill. There, during a scorching African summer, he witnesses a trial and punishment which will forever remind him of white men's cruelty to black people.

The Night Country is a fable for all ages – a powerful account of the strength that lives within us all.

'The Night Country is as frank and funny as it is poetic and painful. It is a deeply personal collection with universal relevance.' (Adelaide Advertiser)

Showing the darker side and the more real compassionate side. The reactive mind without thought. The reasoning man in contrast.

The darker and lighter side of man.
