So David decided to get it on with Bev Shaw…. WHAT WAS THAT?! I mean come on saying he is doing he duty making him seem like the cream of the crop, but then makes fun of the way he looks. This guy is a walking contradiction sometimes, he talked about Bev like she was a tub? A flat-chested tub mind you, so obviously there was nothing their, so why on earth would he go along with it. He’s not dumb he knew why he was going over on a Monday (when they are closed) to meet her. He has serious issues, especially when it comes to doing the dirty with Bev (on the clinic floor… ew). Another thing, when he was at the party and he saw the kid, he should not have said one thing, just simply grab him drag him out back and beat the hell out of him. As far aa Petrus goes, if he was a decent person he would have spoken to the boy or something but he is a very fishy character. Most things in life are not black and white, but in this case it is. He either knew about what happened to lucy before the event took place and did nothing or worse, help the guys that did it, or he was totally unaware (which I doubt) about the inccedent. David needs to grow a pair and just ask Petrus straight up, where you apart of it or not? Did you know about it or not? Cause all this light footing around the subject is pointless.

Now that we’ve finished the book, I don’t think Petrus was directly involved in the attack, though he claims the young boy is family. I think Petrus feels more loyalty towards his people because they have such a long history of being oppressed and abused. Clearly, what happened to Lucy was wrong and should never have happened, but I think South Africa is a completely different world than we are used to and its people operate under their own ideas of righteousness which seem backwards to us.

It is disgusting how David will sleep with anyone. In a way he has to pay to get sex. With the prostitute he paid with money and with melanie he paid with grades. I agree with you if i saw that boy at a party i would have already grabbed him and turned him in whatever his daughter said. David has know idea about what his daughter is going through. I did not like how his daughter never went to the police. She was like letting this happen to her so she could stay.
