Reggie and Me: A Novel

Written by James Hendry

Narrated by James Hendry

South Africa – 1976 to 1994

A time of turbulence as the struggle against apartheid reaches its zenith, pushing South Africa to the brink. But for a one small boy in the leafy northern suburbs of Johannesburg ... his beloved housekeeper is serving fish fingers for lunch.

This is the tale of Hamish Charles Sutherland Fraser – chorister, horse rider, schoolboy actor and, in his dreams, 1st XV rugby star and young ladies’ delight. A boy who loves climbing trees in the spring and a girl named Reggie. An odd child growing up in a conflicted, scary, beautiful society.

A young South African who hasn’t learnt the rules.

Wow another great book by mr. Hendry. He has the ability to make you feel as if you know these characters. Terrific talent. I fell in love with Himish and sports vision.as well as his one friend Robert and Gogo, last but not least Reggie. Truly a beautiful story. Hated for it to end. Bravo ?
