BOOK REVIEW - The Childhood of Jesus by J.M.Coetzee



This mysterious novel follows the story of a young boy of unknown parentage given the name David by the officers of a state-run reception centre in an unnamed but Spanish speaking country. We first meet David when he arrives on a boat accompanied by a man given the name Simon, who seems to feel a connection with the boy and takes it upon himself to act as his guardian and begin the search for his mother, who is apparently already living there.
