A Darker Shade of Pale
この電子書籍について
A Darker Shade of Pale tells of Beryl Crosher-Segers' family and community life in apartheid-era South Africa.
With a piercing narrative, she details the injustices, humiliation and challenges she faced under the brutal reign of the National Party. Through her multi-racial heritage, Beryl was born into a life of inequality and hardship. This is the remarkable story of resilience and courage to power forward toward a better life, to love in the shadow of hate.
A Darker Shade of Pale is a story of hope in the face of despair and of courage when faced with insurmountable obstacles.
