À propos de cet audio

 In this captivating English version of the original work, we delve into the lesser-known yet profoundly impactful moments of the South African War through the eyes of remarkable women in Pretoria. This is more than just history; it paints a vivid picture of their hopes, fears, and unwavering dedication as they navigated the tumultuous events unfolding around them. While the writers perspectives on the wars causes and consequences may spark debate, this book primarily aims to illuminate the personal experiences and emotions of those directly affected. The narrative draws heavily from an intimate diary that chronicles the war with striking detail, allowing readers to connect with the diarist’s thoughts and feelings as if they were conversing with a close friend. As we reflect on the past decade since the wars conclusion, we see how South Africa has transformed into the Union it is today, a nation that yearns for unity and patriotism among its diverse peoples.
