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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67692607111380,"sku":"TVJ-034341","price":11.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-034341-1.jpg?v=1791770536","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/whitethorn-courtenay","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
