Bernard Hall Book order
Bernard Hall transitioned from investment analysis and university economics to social work, a path that ultimately led him to writing. Frustrated by his inability to materially or emotionally improve the world, he now channels his energies into literature. His work delves into themes of childhood in apartheid South Africa, racial prejudice within sports, and the fascinating history of his great-great-grandfather, an Irishman who eloped with a nun and became a member of the first Cape Parliament.
