Literary and Physical Journeys in South Africa.
"Before it can ever be a repose for the senses, landscape is the work of the mind. Its scenery is built up as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock." – Simon Schama
So starts a journey into the mind, not just yours or the author’s but into 9 South African writers and their characters and creations.
Justin Fox, author of 24 books in varying genres takes a trip down many people’s memory lanes, as well as his own, in a book that visits and revisits places that are special to him, whether from experience of the Place, or from having visited in a novel.
A bit-to-be-missed delight by those who love travelling, and love South Africa and its history - real or imagined.
But be quick - the first release sold out in three weeks!
