her daughters abused, and her land stolen from under her. Fearless,
intelligent and determined, shemanages to free her daughters and escape,
returning with the might of an angry supporting army. With a story

tactics, Boudica is an iconic figure of war and womanhood, whose
legendary life story still resonates today. Born and raised in the
sleepy town of Port Elizabeth in South Africa, Gaby Halberstam's passion
for writing began at the age of five when she started penning stories
for her family and friends. After studying English as an adult, she went

achieved her childhood dream and is a full time author. Boudica is her
first publication for A & C Black.
