The smell of apples is a time bomb of a novel. Set in the bitter twilight of apartheid in South Africa in the 1970s, it is a haunting story narrated by an eleven-year-old child, Marnus Erasmus, who simply and devastatingly records the social turmoil and racial oppression that are destroying his own land. Using his family as a microcosm of the corroding society at large, Marnus tells a troubling tale - of a childhood corrupted, of unexpected sexual defilements, and of an innocence gone awry.

Excerpts

My name is really Marnus, but when Dad speaks to me he mostly says 'my son' or 'my little bull' and him and Mum also like calling me 'my little piccanin'.
