Bryce Courtenay From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Bryce Courtenay (born 14 August ) is an Australian novelist born in Johannesburg South Africa . He spent most of his early years in a small village in the Lebombo Mountains in South Africa's Limpopo province. While studying journalism in London , Bryce met his future wife and eventually emigrated to Australia. They married in and had three sons, Brett, Adam and Damon. Damon had haemophilia and died at age 24 from AIDS , contracted through a blood transfusion 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 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 recognise that there is a market for all my books in the U.S." Today, Bryce Courtenay lives on a rural property on the

Bryce Courtenay lives in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. Further information about Bryce Courtenay can be found at www.brycecourtenay.com Author Video The Persimmon Tree Courtenay Bryce ISBN-13: The Persimmon Tree is unashamedly a love story. I've always wanted to write one but until now have been afraid to do so. The reason is simple enough: most men in my experience have very little idea of what really goes on in a woman's heart or head. Now, at the age of 74, I just might know enough and have sufficient courage to write on the subject - the way of a man with a woman, of a woman with a man. My story is set in the Pacific, although not in the paradise we've always been led to believe exists there. It is 1942 in Java and the Japanese are invading the islands like a swarm of locusts. I have tried to capture the essence of love - how in a world gone mad with malice and hate, it has the ability to forgive and to heal. As it is in this story, love is always hard earned but, in the end, a most wonderful and necessary emotion. Without love, life for most of us would lack true meaning.

The love, hate, sadness and torture that Peekay (main character) went through and also the feelings everyone else he met through the duration in his life are wonderfully conveyed to the reader.

With novels that boast huge sales and a connection with readers that guarantees future commercial success he is in an enviable position indeed. In the flesh, however, it quickly becomes apparent that Courtenay is a man to whom sales figures mean little and that giving his readers what they want in the form of a good yarn is what matters. His latest novel Sylvia will no doubt prove to be yet another success. Even before he put pen to paper to write his first novel, The Power of One, Courtenay had already been writing for several decades, writing advertising copy that is.
