Both funny and terrible, magical and grimly realistic, this is a coming of age novel about a young boy living in a railway settlement in Durban in the mid-sixties.
Its narrator, thirteen-year-old Timus, is part of a large family who struggles to make ends meet, and where the father's obsession with the church has distressing consequences.
