Product Description
Product Description
Sixteen-year-old Davey Baker is in the attic when the militia comes to Edenfields to “reclaim” his family’s farm. Locked in shock, he witnesses the brutal murder of both his parents. The neighbouring farmers, Mike and Marsha De Wet—his parents’ closest friends—take him in and try to care for him. They look to cope, like their people have always done. But Davey is on a different path. One night he escapes from school and embarks on a harrowing journey across Africa, eventually coming home to Edenfields Farm, searching for redemption. Shortlisted for the 2006 Dylan Thomas Prize, Unfeeling is a triumphant debut from a promising new writer. “The writing is close to brilliant, in my view. There is a dreamlike quality to the text, as though much of the story is happening in slow motion, even though the content is shocking and sometimes gruesome.” -- Alma Lee, Vancouver Sun
