Query: The spirit of the Backveld

An extremely rainy summer in Pretoria gave ground to more reading then had been expectet beforehand, and my usual stock of books were not in my posession. This turned out to be a stroke of luck, as it were, because rather than turning to my own, I had to turn to the bookshelves of my landlady. Mafeking road and other storys caugth my eyes; an hour later it had also caught my heart. Bosman spinns storys out of the everyday life in the Groot Maroco district as easely as he use the history of the Transvaal republic as the setting for his tales. His storys are funny, sad, warm and exiting, often all at once. His talent as a storyteller is indesputeble, and his love for the ways and traditions of the people of the Marico is impossible to hide. Not for nothing is his storys said to be the best to ever come out of South Africa. This book has my warmest recomodation. If you read it , you will never regret. If you don't, it is your loss.
