A kind blogger fan of Paddy Richardson's loaned it to me and I devoured it.<br /><br />As a political person and anti-apartheid activist, I was fascinated with the protests against the Springbok Tour, had not known about it.<br /><br />And the mystery was good, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-29375205468457791382015-05-23T12:11:10.404+09:302015-05-23T12:11:10.404+09:30Sounds interesting, Kerrie!

The funny thing is, Paddy Richardson has several terrific books. She really should be read much more widely.
