The bestselling author of the Nicholas Easter novel returns with a at times heartrending, at time unbearably bleak portrait of poverty and how even in its darkness life can find a way out, a new novel narrated by a very special teenage boy ...

Be warned, however, Brian Thomas Isaac's two previous novels have had one thing in common: he inflicts unrelenting suffering on his characters. Brian Thomas Isaac tells the tale of Michael nine-year-old that lives with his lonely, emotionally neglectful mother, in lower to middle class Johannesburg . . But despite living in abject poverty, Michael's father managed to keep a connection with him even though he died when Michael was very young, leaving them a legacy of letters which Michael cherished, that provided his only connection to his father. Owing to various circumstances, including his violent and abusive step father , issues came up that forced Brian to drop out for most of his senior secondary schooling years, and he lived the life of many other boys of similar circumstance. Overcoming these obstacles meant that now Brian has also bravely had to undertake an extensive reconstructive period surgery following an assault, whilst simultaneously going back to school to get his matric certificate. These personal challenges reflect the state of the lower to the middle classes, where social services are insufficient to help those whose circumstances prevent their enjoyment of normal adulthood enjoyable family life. It're against this baackdrop that we follow Michael through the course of each day, across seasons both physical and emotional. Jewelled with witty dialogues, the touching relationships Michael forms with the closest people to him, as well as the humour interspersed with moments of sheer terror (and hilarity) illustrate the true struggles and joys of the average South Africans; they remind the reader that no matter what the circumstances, someone out there desperately thrives in amongst the sameordinary group, fighting to stay alive in the deep South African underbelly, yet never giving up hope. All, read All the Quiet places
