About this listen
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.
©1998 Bryce Courtenay (P)2025, 2026 Bolinda PublishingCritic Reviews
'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)
'It is gripping but deeply distressing writing ...' (The Canberra Times)
'A gripping saga set in apartheid South Africa.' (New Woman)
