Histoire
Mrs. Moses is a small woman with a big heart and enormous courage. The only survivor of a Cossack raid on her village, she takes with her a big cast-iron frying pan, so heavy that she can only sling it over her back. Yet this is no ordinary frying pan, it's The Family Frying Pan, blessed with a Russian soul.

Histoire
From the author of The Power of One comes a new novel about Africa. The time is 1939. White South Africa is a deeply divided nation with many of the Afrikaner people fanatically opposed to the English. The world is also on the brink of war, and South Africa elects to fight for the Allied cause against Germany. Six-year-old Tom Fitzsaxby finds himself in The Boys Farm, an orphanage in a remote town in the high mountains, where the Afrikaners side fiercely with Hitler's Germany.

Histoire
From master storyteller Bryce Courtenay comes a colorful, lusty story set in the 13th century, an epic tale of a Europe torn by religious intolerance. The story centers around Sylvia Honeyeater, who sings like an angel and can literally charm the birds from the trees. The narrative also features the Pied Piper of Hamelin, Francis of Assisi, the Muslim Sultan and his harem, and the fervor that becomes the Children's Crusade and then, later, the Crusades.

Histoire
At just 16 years Danny Dunn has everything going for him: brains, looks, sporting aptitude - and luck with the ladies. His mother steers him towards a university education, but with just six months of his degree to go, he signs up for the AIF, driven by a desire to serve his country and plain wanderlust. Danny serves in South-east Asia, spends three and a half years as a POW, and returns a broken man, embittered and facially disfigured. He is scared and overwhelmed by the need to sort himself out, to find out who the hell he is....

Description
April Fool's Day is controversial, painful and heartbreaking, yet has a gentle humor. It is also life-affirming and, above all, a testimony to the incredible regenerative strength of love: how when we confront our worst, we can become our best. This tragic yet uplifting story will change the way you think. From the author of The Power of One.
Ce que les critiques en disent

Heartwrenching
I appreciate the vulnerability of Bryce's words in telling Damon's story and love Humphrey's voice.

Inspiring
Such a fantastic book, truly a beautiful love story. Very inspirational as well as tragic. A view of a terrible virus in the early days when so little was known about AIDS. its easy to share in the frustration this family dealt with when it comes to the medical community and being faced with constant challenges how the spirit can overcome. I am thankful for my health. The narrator did a phenomenal job bringing the characters to life.

Tragic, Honest and Poignant
When I realized what this book was about, I didn't think I would last to the end. Bryce wrote this book with such heart and honesty, not to mention genius of expression, that I suffered every moment of it with him, loving the characters and their courage and compassion and hating the injustice of it all. As usual, Humphrey Bower brought this book to life with a perfect reading.
