Synopsis

A young woman answers a knock on her door and her whole world begins to fall apart. And from that moment Jarnie, of mixed race, lives in constant fear that the man she loves will discover that she is not the person she was born to be.

The uninvited caller sets this fast-moving love-story thriller alight with conflicting yet heart-warming racial tensions between Greg, her brother, and Jago, her white lover, in a country of upside-down values. All three become, directly and indirectly, enmeshed in gun-running activities to bring down a racist government. Both are hunted by security forces and though Greg and Jago have opposing views on insurrection, they must work uneasily together against a common adversary who wants them both dead.

Neither Foe nor Friend is a riveting adventure story with great psychological impact that will make readers pause for moments to ruminate on some scarcely believable true-to-life events.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Allan Johns was born in South Africa and has lived in England for nearly fifty years. He was a radio playwright and Chief Sub Editor of the Johannesburg Star for eleven years during the apartheid regime, having previously worked on the Sheffield Star in Yorkshire.

On his return to England, he edited The Oxford Times during the heyday of the newspaper industry. He was a leader writer and prize-winning columnist before taking early retirement and moving to Brighton.

Neither Foe nor Friend is fiction loosely based on his personal experiences during his time as a journalist on anti-apartheid newspapers before Mandela's release from Robben Island.

His first novel, The Hit Girl, was published by Robert Hale of London in 1983.
