Biographie de Beverley Naidoo

In 1965, as a young student, Beverley Naidoo was forced into exile from South Africa, where she had been imprisoned for her involvement in resistance to apartheid. She moved to England at the age of twenty-two. She wrote her first children's book, Journey to Jo'Burg : A South African Story, in 1985. Although originally banned in South Africa, this acclaimed and enormously successful novel helped thousands of young readers elsewhere to understand what life under apartheid meant for children.
A sequel, Chain of fire, followed. Naidoo is also the author of Out of bounds and No turning back.
