The servants' quarters

The servants' quarters / Lynn Freed.

Synopsis:

With her father in a vegetative state due to an accident, Cressida’s Jewish family is taken in by a wealthy gentile neighbor in post-World War II South Africa. The neighbor, whose face is horribly disfigured by his war injuries, taps into Cressida’s nightmarish thoughts about the Nazis while at the same time offering her intellectual stimulation that her mother and sister cannot provide.
