Internationally acclaimed and award-winning author Beverley Naidoo explores new territory in this beautifully realized and moving story set in Britain's colonial past. It's Kenya in the 1950s - a time when colonial rule vies for supremacy over the Mau Mau. Families become divided and for two boys betrayal, fear and suspicion are the order of each and every day. Naidoo's research is superb which in turn provides a very realistic canvas of life at that time, whether black or white. Fans of Malorie Blackman will devour this eagerly and for others if you're seeking a really compelling read as well as a bite of history, then look no further than Burn my Heart.
