Abstract

A historical novel covering over 15,000 years of history in South Africa and which focuses on three principal families who settled in the region throughout the centuries. The family of Nxumalo; the van Doorns, a Dutch family; and the Saltwoods of England.

Description

A novel about people, real and imaginary, caught up in the march of world history -- a story of adventure and heroism, love and loyalty, cruelty and betrayal. Though not without comic elements, it portrays the tragic results of wrong decisions made by fundamentally decent people in the serene belief that they are right.
