Sam is eighteen when he meets Pixie and instantly falls head-over-heels in love. She is an artist and a free spirit in her twenties. Their relationship is passionate and deep, although Sam finds it hard to understand Pixie - especially her unwillingness to talk about the portrait of a young boy that hangs on the wall of her bedroom and the haunted look in her eyes whenever Sam mentions it. It is only when Sam discovers the tragic story of Pixie's childhood that he is able to appreciate what the portrait means to her. But their love for each other now faces a major new challenge and threat as Pixie refuses to conform to the racist laws of Apartheid. This is a new edition of the award-winning love story, that also provides fascinating insights into life in South Africa at two different stages of its racist history, and includes a post-Apartheid Epilogue.
