Time of our Darkness

Blurb

Time of our Darkness is a novel by South African author Stephen Gray. It tells the story of a homosexual teacher in 1980s Apartheid South Africa and his relationship with his long-term partner and a young black boy.
13-year-old Disley D. Mashanini is the sole black pupil at a white private school in Sandton Johannesberg, there on a scholarship from a township in the Transvaal. Pete Walker teaches English and, sometimes, teaches Afrikaans. Peter has lived with André for ten years, though their sexual relationship has ceased.
One day, Disley turns up at Walker's house, answering Mr Walker's questioning with "Because I wanted to see you, sir." Walker takes him home to his township in KwaThema, Gauteng.
