Customer Reviews

I heart Lynn Freed.

I saw Ms. Freed do a reading and I just had to get some of her books. Home Ground showcases her warm, witty voice. This is an engrossing story of girlhood and coming-of-age with a heroine who's a bit of a holy terror. A very good read.

Interesting portrayal of South Africa during apartheid

An interesting glimpse into the lives of a Jewish family in Capetown, South Africa during apartheid. The family relationships were beautifully portrayed.
