This book is based on the author's own capture in North Africa and his experiences as a prisoner-of-war in WWII Italy and Germany. This gripping and beautifully written novel deals with three men who see themselves as 'straight', but who must negotiate the emotions that are brought to the surface by the physical closeness of survival in the male-only camps. In this squalid and brutalizing environment, ties are forged that cut across conventional notions of sexuality and need. Poetic and powerful, it has won some of South Africa's top literary prizes.
