Set against the backdrop of the draconian apartheid regime, Behind the Walled Garden of Apartheid, Datnow's memoir of growing up in South Africa deftly conjures up the era's blatant racism and the rich African landscape. The author vividly recreates her growing up years as white and Jewish at the height of the apartheid regime from 1948-1965, and her struggle as a young adult to come to terms with the wrongdoings of that dark era. The memoir is both a fascinating historical account and an intriguing personal narrative painted with humor and sensitivity.

Claire Datnow was born and raised in South Africa. Her first published worked appeared in the Johannesburg daily newspaper, promoting the cause of game preservation. She was surprised by the twenty rand (about $50.00) she received for the article, which made an entire page with a handsome picture of the rhino photographed by her husband. She taught creative writing to gifted and talented students. Edwin Hubble: Discoverer of Galaxies, and American Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers are some of her at publications for young adults. Excerpts from her soon to be published novel, The Nine Inheritors, have been published in the On Line Journal at: http://www.jewishgen.org/Litvak/HTML/OnlineJournals/excerpts_from_the_rosen_legacy.html
