The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay

4.0

Very good novel of a boy of English heritage coming of age in South Africa in the 1930’s-1950’s. The Nazi influence, boxing, feeling like an outsider but being a natural leader. I understood some cultural and natural references (aloe candelabras). But I would recommend ending when he leaves South Africa -- the final "redemption" did not add a lot to me.
