Gutsy. The punches come straight from the shoulder, leaving a lot of blood on the floor.

SARS to becoming Mr Rogue … captivating, unmissable and a prescribed read.

Sympathetic, frank, with a keen eye and sharp pen, Comrade Groenink has no truck with privilege or pretence. She plainly holds not only her co-protagonist in her affection but also his country. Her common sense, wry humour and occasional flashes of irony enable her to give her reader a close-up view of a remarkable man doing remarkable things, this against an even more remarkable backdrop. A fascinating read.

What are the scars that lie untreated in the souls of those who gave so much? Is the betrayal of the promise of democracy, by the same comrades one fought alongside in the war against apartheid, harder to bear? This book is a brilliant, gentle attempt to answer these complex, vexing questions. It proves that the past is never quite behind us.
