Damian Barr, Elsabé Brits and Chris Schoeman talk to Fransjohan Pretorius - Presented by Protea Boekhuis and Jonathan Ball Publishers.

Unlikely war heroes are at the heart of the discussion between Fransjohan Pretorius, the Scot Damian Barr, Elsabé Brits and Chris Schoeman. Damian’s novel, You Will Be Safe Here, is partly based on the fictitious journals of a Free State woman farmer, Sarah van der Watt, who with her son was sent to a British concentration camp. But the Free State is also the world of Emily Hobhouse and her revelations about war atrocities committed by the British (as seen in Elsabé’s Emily Hobhouse – Beloved Traitor), and where Commander Hans Lötter won his greatest victory before appearing before a British court, as described in Chris’ Rebel.
