Description:

'Kitchen Boy' is an unusual literary take on the life of a former rugby Springbok and war hero. The novel opens with the death of the old hero and moves to his funeral service, the first of several braided narratives. Dipping into the recollections of his gathered friends, family and incidental figures, she builds up a compound picture of J. J. Kitching that spans his youth, war service and life afterwards. She also uses the service to orchestrate a variety of effects that feed into the rich structure and scope of the novel. (Ken Barris, Cape Times)
