Description

In the dying days of the 19th century, the small South African town of Ladysmith is under siege from Boer forces. As British soldiers and townsfolk wait for rescue, they try to keep their spirits up with parties and cricket matches, but General Buller's relief column cannot break through. Amongst a cast of characters, one young woman finds an unexpected chance to rebel against constricting social and domestic bonds and pursue a life of romance and adventure. Set against the backdrop of war and siege, this novel explores themes of freedom, identity, and the human spirit. Giles Foden's masterful storytelling brings to life a pivotal moment in history, weaving together a rich tapestry of characters and experiences that will leave you turning the pages until the very end.
