Secret Fire: "1913-14, the South African Journal of Pauline Smith"

by Harold Scheub (Editor)

Comprises the journal kept by South African writer Pauline Smith (1882-1959) who wrote it while revisiting South Africa to gather material for her writing. Her entries shed light on the racial and economic inequities of the place and era (although not always by intention), as much through ruminations on her own life as on her accounts of anecdotes and interviews.
