Last of the Nomads

By Teswell White

Cape Flats, South Africa. Apartheid.

Max is the new boy at a tough technical school, and the prefects make sure he knows it. Every afternoon, the toilet block. Every afternoon, the wall. Until Gino walks in and refuses to walk away.

Four boys. A gang called the Nomads. A stolen car, a first kiss, a dare at a beach with a WHITES ONLY sign, and one morning that changes everything.

What follows is a long road: a fishing trawler, a gang initiation, the navy, a mortuary queue, the fire brigade. All of it shadowed by guilt, and by the question a grieving girl once asked out loud.

Based on true events, Last of the Nomads is a striking first novel about friendship, shame, forgiveness and the courage it takes to run towards the fire.
