Good morning Shomeret,'I have replied on PM as requested.
Good morning Sharon.Unfortunately not. It is available postage free from Book Depository.
Google show Book depository is in the UK. Is that true?
Yes Sharon, Book Depository is based in UK but sends postage free all over the world. Perhaps your library would order a copy if you asked for the book. It is also available from outlets like Barnes and Noble.

It traces the early life of Dan Ginsberg. He is forced to leave Lithuania because of anti-Semitism. It follows his struggles to find a foothold in South Africa. Debora Becker is born in a small South African town. She suffers the abuse of her single mother and the prejudices of the local Jewish community. Dan and Debora marry but their lives are blighted by the horrors of the Second World War.
Their son, Zak grows up in the shadow of his parents' sad histories. He seeks solace from his Zulu nanny, Zanele and befriends her son Simon. Awareness of the Second World War, his Jewishness and the status of the black population, slowly infiltrate Zak's consciousness.
Simon has spent an idyllic childhood in rustic Zululand. At high school, he realizes for the first time, that he is a second-class citizen.
The story follows the lives of the two young men in apartheid South Africa. Their destinies become inexorably intertwined in their pursuit of what is right.
Zak studies the art of saving lives. Simon learns the craft of destroying lives. Both are drawn into the anti-apartheid struggle. The one acts because his ancestors were victims, the other because he himself is a victim.
Perhaps someone would like to review it. I would happily provide a free copy.
