Salt & Honey by Candi Miller
1958, SOUTHWEST AFRICA. Etienne Marais has planned a hunting trip in the veld. Their prey-Bushmen. After they track down a San family fleeing through the scrubland, Etienne is wounded in the shooting of the parents; the terrified child is dragged back with the hunters to ensure her silence. But, while Etienne's wife mourns his worsening condition, his sister-in-law, Marta, slips away with the orphaned girl. Breaking apartheid law, Marta raises Koba, who is quick to learn 'white' ways in her new family, as her own. A playful teenage friendship develops between Koba and the family's son Mannie, as they trade each other's different experiences - jive dancing for bushcraft, salt for honey. But, caught somewhere between the two worlds, Koba is in more danger than she could have imagined.
An ambitious novel with impressive range and a very authentic feel * Barbara Trapido *
