Are We There Yet?: Chasing a Childhood Through South Africa

In 2003 David Smiedt traveled to South Africa and found a very different country from the one he left in 1989 at the age of 19. This stirring memoir covers Smiedt’s travels across a post-Apartheid nation full of confusion and contradictions as he searches for his long-lost father. From Soweto to Cape Town, from Kruger to Kimberley, what Smiedt finds in this rapidly evolving country is shocking, entrancing, surreal, and stunningly beautiful.
