A collection of stories filled with drama, incident, courage and humour. It features a love and longing for home and family, for church and land, at the heart of the stories.

This book contains a collection of stories filled with drama, incident, courage and good humour. We meet a penitent on the road, farm workers devoted to ballroom dancing, dinner parties with cuisine that makes you wish you were there, a hilarious funeral that rivals anything out of Ireland or Provence. At the heart of all these stories is a great love and longing for home and family, for church and land, representing a life and intimacy that is fast disappearing from the valleys of the Boland.

Gwen Jennings grew up in Johannesburg and has worked as a journalist, cook and decorator. She has three grown sons and lives in Cape Town. This is her first book.
