In the final years of South Africa's Apartheid era, an unlikely
trio-a sheltered white rugby player, a black farmworker's son, and
an Indian shopkeeper's daughter-discover the consequences of
knowing the truth and having the courage to speak it. Halley's
Comet is the coming-of-age story of Pete de Lange, a white
16-year-old schoolboy, set in small-town South Africa in 1986. Pete
lives a relatively sheltered life, primarily concerned with girls
and rugby- until one January night changes everything. Thrust
together with two complete strangers-Petrus, a black farmworker's
son and Sarita, an Indian shopkeeper's daughter-the trio find
themselves running for their lives from the vicious Rudie, whose
actions will ripple far beyond that fateful night. This era-defying
friendship-sparked by a shared secret- challenges everything Pete
thought he knew and believed. And when anti-Apartheid
revolutionaries set their sights on the town, it will change the
course of the three young people's lives forever. Halley's Comet is
a story of friendship, love, change, taking chances, hope, a comet,
and some pretty cool 80s music.
