Query: Just as good as its predecessor

I just finished reading Tandia tonight, and, like many reviewers, was moved to tears by the ending. It left me feeling frustrated and bereft, but Bryce Courtenay deserves much kudos for a brillant, amazingly written ending which neatly fits in with old refrains from Power of One, and continues the lingering mystique of Peekay. The novel's nitty-gritty descriptions of apartheid, and the exhausting, on-going fight against it, were very informative and vivid. I loved the character of Tandia, and the way her life and struggles mirrored the spirit of Peekay's. I loved reading about Peekay's deepening emotional maturity, and his realizations about the countless nuances in the often thorny reality of race relations. Though I loved The Power of One, I love this one a little bit more, for its ability to elicit a roller coaster of emotion from this reader.
