WALKING THE WHIRLWIND

Full flavored, completely expanded novel, with some depth of history and of perception of society in a pre-Boer-war South African family chronicle of the 19th century. The conflict through three generations lies between the home place, Ashenden, and the human beings who love and marry, who fall or succeed as their temperaments dictate. Colonization, land problems, troubles with the natives and the Dutch, the evolution of a social pattern -- all goes into the making of a rich novel.
