About this ebook
Soap In The River
When a burnt-out television director takes his family farming - it is to a countryside steeped in history, saturated with racism and blessed by more hilarious encounters than comets in the wild African sky.
They are the only English speakers in a community of ultra-conservative Afrikaners. Their attempts at social adventure, sophisticated floriculture and animal husbandry are sometimes ill-advised, always intriguing and often doomed to hysterical failure.
Set against the backdrop of an ancient land, a short drive from the Cradle of Mankind itself, this is a revealing portrait of life in a small farming community. People wrestling with todays problems and prejudices.
There is a political corruption and farm murder. There are also the laughable events of incredible and embarrassing naivet. All the wrong decisions for all the right reasons.
Despite it all and against the odds they succeed, only to be wiped out in the vortex of the World Trade Centre terrorist attacks which reach across the world to engulf them and their enterprise.
An amazing and human story of passion and emotion and downright intrigue. A story so unusual it could only happen in real life.
As unusual soap in a river!
