Go Carefully, My Friend

A Novel of South Africa

Go Carefully, My Friend tells the story of people whose paths collide against the backdrop of apartheid South Africa. The longing of South Africans who could leave and did is contrasted with the lives of some who stayed and found meaning in the struggle to survive in a country at odds with itself. In the end these two strands of South African history share more than just a past. The question Go Carefully, My Friend asks is whether in the future South Africa will need both parts of itself to overcome the great obstacles that it faces.
