The book recounts the life experiences of Afrikanders, focusing on themes of identity, struggle, and perseverance amid the socio-political tensions of South Africa during a tumultuous period. It is primarily a depiction of the daily life and aspirations of its protagonist, Steve, alongside his family and community in a time characterized by a quest for independence and national pride.
