THIS fascinating book, co-authored by a mother and daughter duo, tells the story of Nancy's childhood in what was then the Northern Transvaal (now called Limpopo) in South Africa.
How she and her brother Aubrey ended up there was largely due to their father's wanderlust, but also thanks to their mother's courage in leaving everything she knew.
With great descriptions and vivid details, the book evokes the family's life out in the wilds, where man and nature co-existed to survive. A powerful story, which leaves you marvelling at the bravery involved.
Available from The Guisborough Bookshop and branches of Waterstone's
