In South Africa in 1939, six-year-old Tom Fitzsaxby enters an isolated orphanage where his English name makes him a target in a bitterly divided society. Hostility and loneliness force him to learn how to survive, while the approach of war sharpens the political and racial tensions around him. A terrible event eventually sends him on a journey driven by the need for justice, opening possibilities he could not have imagined as a child. Bryce Courtenay follows Tom’s growth within a harsh world, giving endurance and affection a place alongside cruelty. Whitethorn is a novel of resilience, belonging, and the unexpected connections that can help a person move beyond the circumstances of his beginnings.
