On Which The Sun Has Set: It wasn't all Sunshine Sex and Sandwiches
The Novel "On Which The Sun Has Set" draws its title from the saying that the British Empire was one on which the sun never set. By the mid 1960's it was patently obvious that the sun was slowly setting on the British Protectorate of Basutoland, poised as it was on the brink of obtaining independence. The Ex Patriot community who were few in number and varied in viewpoints inhabited the little town of Mohaleshoek and on a good day probably didn't number more than forty souls.
Living in close proximity to each other, the balancing act of keeping the flag flying was often tested while at the same time, the situation for many of the Basotho people was changing. Lives become intermingled as the old order are forced to retire, often in some confusion, to make way for the new, and the novel gives a fascinating glimpse into a world which has now gone.
