Stones for My Father deals with the second Boer war, and gives quite an uncompromisingly critical appraisal of the English repression of the Boers at the beginning of the twentieth century. It's the story of a young girl and of his family, and their trials as they are pushed away from their farm and imprisoned in a concentration camp.
The author is a descendant of the Boer war hero Danie Theron.
