The theme of the book is hardship and humour and there are five chapters about Prep and College covering three generations of James’ family as well as many humorous stories of Karoo farm life. Marguerite Poland writes, “I laughed out loud, wiped my eyes and enjoyed the warmth and camaraderie of Karoo life under the Tandjiesberg. Hard life, tough as ironstone – but with such a sense of community and laughter.”
Anyone who has connections with the Eastern Cape will enjoy this book!
