Torn In The New SA

The unexpected spate of emails that followed was exacerbated by President Mbeki's public criticism of the article. After five years of ongoing correspondence with a wide range of people Bronwyn wrote a book about her journey to becoming an expatriate. In it she also shares the stories emotions experiences and opinions of her numerous correspondents. A few stories are amusing; most are poignant; some are not for the faint-hearted.
