The Family Frying Pan by Bryce Courtenay, ISBN 9780855616991

> Fiction Books > General Books

Around a campfire in Russia, a small group of refugees gathers each night to cook and tell stories. Theirs are stories spiced with every ingredient of human nature - love and pain, joy and hatred, deceit, courage, compassion and exile. Stories whose characters are caught in the eternal struggle between those who destroy and those who nurture - between life's hunters and its gatherers. Like folk tales of old, they will make you laugh and make you cry. And make you realise that, for better or for worse, we are still the one human family.

About the Author: Bryce Courtenay

Bryce Courtenay (born 14 August 1933) is a South African-born Australian novelist born in Johannesburg. He spent most of his early years in a small village in the Lebombo Mountains in South Africa's Limpopo province.
His novels are primarily set in either Australia, his adopted country, or South Africa, the country of his birth. His first book, The Power of One, was published in 1989 and, despite Courtenay's fears that it would never sell, quickly became one of Australia's best-selling books by any living author. The story has since been made into a film - as well as being re-released in a version fit for children to read. Bryce Courtenay is one of Australia's most commercially successful authors. However, only The Power of One has been published in the United States. Courtenay claims that this is because "American publishers for the most part have difficulties about Australia, they are interested in books in their own country first and foremost. However, we receive many e-mails and letters from Americans who have read my books and I am hoping in the future that publishers will recognize that there is a market for all my books in the U.S."
He came to Australia after being banned from returning to South Africa for starting a weekend school at the prestigious boys school he attended. He had met Benita (whom he later married and has three children with), who invited him to come to Australia, which he did, and has lived there ever since. Bryce Courtenay now lives in Bowral, NSW, with his partner, Christine.
