St Gabriel's School for Boys, one of South Africa's top private all boys schools, prides itself on its stellar reputation. But when the investigation of an incident involving five matric boys reveals a history of unsettling events, it threatens to expose a brotherhood that is not as saintly as it seems.
Through humour, angst and tenderness, this text unravels the delicate threads of violence within blossoming manhood and its relationship to race, sexuality, mental health and identity under the patronage of masculinity and tradition.
