Mponyane can't hear or speak but he determines to look after the white Saunderson family when they take him in, aware of the pressures they are under, especially the timid and, bullied 7-year-old Frank. A beautifully constructed story, told alternately by Mponyane and Mrs Saunderson. It's both dramatic and thought-provoking, catching the delight of Mponyane's difference as well as the enormous frustrations he feels.
