Ruth Pace - Your book is amazing. Loved the cello in the kitchen story...what fun! I just smiled and smiled 'tho it was truly sad to read about Justin's phase of ill health. Great tenacity on the part of your parents...Loved reading about Terry Lee-Bell which her butternuts and carrots strung around her middle as the vegetable fairy in the pantomime. So many memoried re-lived. Your characters were very real. The book infused with humour...making it a charming and immensly enjoyable narration to read. Siggie Stone - 'what a heartwarming love story' Laura Johnson - I'm laughing so hard at Lulu being found in the freezer. Having such a chuckle...dressing the cockerels part Sharon Berkowitz - Oh my gosh, I cant stop reading your book. Laughing the whole way through! It feels like I'm watching the whole thing from behind a glass, it's explained so well! I laughed my head off at Kaiser driving over his family. He couldn't drive and wanted to show off and rode over his whole family! The whole thing ridiculous! With a battered, broken up car didn't matter cos he just wanted to impress everyone with a car. 100% for aspiration 0% for sensibility. And grandpa telling granny Dawn she'd be eaten by ants if she stood complaining any longer (mom complaining about white ants in the mud walls). Now I'm busy with the annual tobacco sale, and everyone getting dressed up. I just imagine grandpa with his light blue socks pulled up to his knees, and khaki clothing, holding his cigarette the way he did and laughing a lot. I started reading 2 days ago and I'm 1/3 the way through. I'm going to be so sad when it's finished! I don't want it to end.I want to read faster and more...then it will end quicker! Dilemma!!!! Jordan Berkowitz - Not the kind of book I would choose, its an easy read but the bush war account is really interesting. Winnie Blair - I've bought your book on Kindle. Started reading it last night. LOVE IT Lynn Godrich - I am reading your book and enjoying every minute, it make me "rubber band" back to my childhood growing up on a farm far from the comforts of urban living. When you next speak to your mom ask her if Mercia Todd was a musician and gave singing lessons, if so, she was my dad's singing coach in Springs and Johannesburg where she would play the piano and my dad would sing for charity concerts. Mercia Todd and Joyce Barker were big in the music world in those days. I'm on page 110 and can't put it down. Janet Salmon - fabulous book a real page turner
