"Exile Child is a historically correct flesh-and-blood portrayal of one of our most tragic heroines." - The Sowetan Newspaper "Expect to feel anger and indignation as you realise the inhumanity Sarah had to ensure, but Franco's account, although hard-hitting, is thoughtful and sympathetic." - The Cosmopolitan Magazine "Exile Child gives a harrowing and absorbing account of Sarah's incredible life." - The Herald Newspaper “Exile Child tells the sad and tragic true story of Sarah Bartmann, a young Khoisan woman living in the 1800’s, who involuntarily became the most terrible victim of colonialism and racism, simply because of her physical attributes.” - African Reporter Newspaper "Exile Child collates all that is imaginable and creates a story that is highly emotive." - City Press Magazine “Exile Child gives readers a window into the depths of prejudice and racism, and a very real depiction of this heroine who lived more than a lifetime ago.
