About This Item
(London, Kaye & Ward, 1970). Pictorial dustwrapper, a little soiled, pp. 344. Remainder mark bottom edge of text-block. 'This is a family story set round a house, steeped in tradition, which stands just outside Cape Town. The time is the early nineteenth century and the heroine is Alison Vernon. She is a strong, but tolerant, character and it is her love for her husband and her acceptance of his infidelities that makes the main thread of the book. Through this family story, the story of tghe Dutch and English settlers in South Africa is told-not dramatically, but simply, as the lives of the people connected with this family are affected by their difficulties.' .
