Paperback. Condition: Good. A beautiful coming-of-age story set in a year of political turmoil in South Africa. Tom and Millie are best friends, relying on each other to make sense of what's going on in their lives and in the lives of their families. Despite a life that is not always safe, Tom and Millie learn who and what is important. 'I can't help feeling the lane where we lived had something to do with it all. As though these families had been put there for a reason. it was so still, like everyone was holding their breath a lot of the time.' Tom and Millie are best friends who live in a quiet lane on the edge of town. They rely on each other to make sense of what's going on in their lives and in the lives of their families - especially Harry Mac's. Harry Mac, Tom's dad, is a man of silences and secrets. And now Tom is involved in one of those secrets. At school, Tom sits through lessons on the arms race and President Kennedy, waiting until he can be back on the lane where life is far more interesting: why does a black car drive slowly up the lane every night? And what did Harry Mac mean when he wrote in his newspaper 'people disappear in the night'? A series of shocking events and discoveries lead Tom closer to the truth, but threaten to tear his world apart. Set within a fascinating period of South African politics, this is a coming-of-age story full of heart, soul and hope, in the tradition of Jasper Jones and To Kill a Mockingbird. 304 pages.…

Two copies of this book, one belonging to Fredric March, and the other to his wife, Florence Eldridge. The poem was written during World War II and was presented in adapted dramatic form several times over the NBC radio network. The copy belonging to Fredric March, is a second printing and is signed by him in pencil on the flyleaf - Fredric March , November 1944. With some pencil notes by him referring to the text. At a later date, the author has inscribed the book to his friend - For Fred March - Concerning whose reading of this poem words fail me - Russell Davenport. On the death of President Franklin Roosevelt in April 1945, the NBC Radio Network had March give a dramatic reading of the poem as part of its tribute to the fallen wartime President. The first printing copy belonging to Florence Eldridge is heavily annotated by her in pencil for an earlier radio reading in which she acted. Her copy is a first printing and inscribed by the author - For Florence, Affectionately, Russell, Nov 30 / 44, And donÕt for Dec 11! There is an Autograph Letter Signed by Russell Davenport to Eldridge taped to the front pastedown (tape browned) dated December 12, 1944, written after her radio reading - Dear Florence- This is just a little note, wholly inadequate, to express my appreciation for all your effort and care in the reading of My Country. You gave a superb performance. If there is ever anything that an unlikely scrivener can do in return, you know where to come. Let me see you soon. Affectionately, Russ. Both books are enclosed together in a custom clamshell box. Russell Davenport (1899-1954) was a very interesting man and close friend of the Marchs. As Wikipedia notes, he Ò.served with the U.S. Army in World War I and received the Croix de Guerre. He enrolled at Yale University and graduated in 1923, where he was classmate of Henry Luce and Briton Hadden, who founded Time magazine. While at Yale he became a member of the secret society Skull and Bones. In 1929, he married the writer Marcia Davenport; they divorced in 1944. He joined the editorial staff of Fortune magazine in 1930 and became managing editor in 1937. At age forty-one, he turned to politics and became a personal and political advisor to Wendell Willkie. Willkie was the Republican nominee for the 1940 presidential election and lost the election to Franklin D. Roosevelt. After Willkie's death in 1944, Davenport became a defacto leader of the internationalist Republicans. Following World War II, he was on the staff of Life and Time until 1952.Ó.…
