Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is set in the untamed landscapes of the Transvaal Republic, South Africa, in the early days following the Zulu Wars. Captain John Niel, a former British Army officer, arrives to begin a new life as a farmer on the remote Mooifontein homestead. There, he joins forces with Old Silas Croft, a veteran settler, and his two nieces, Bessie and Jess. While Bessie embodies the spirited and pragmatic frontierswoman, Jess is an enigma, a woman of quiet intelligence and hidden depths, masked by an aloof exterior. The novel delves into the stark beauty of the African veldt, the complexities of colonial life, and the clash between British and Boer cultures. It explores themes of love and loss, identity and belonging, through a cast of vivid and authentic characters. The author's deep understanding of the era and its social dynamics shines through, offering a rich tapestry of human experience and a poignant meditation on the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity.
