The author of The Housemaid’s Daughter

Home

Set on the arid plains of South Africa, The Housemaid’s Daughter traces the story of two remarkable women who forge an unlikely friendship across the divide of culture, generation, and colour.

Will Ada be able to protect her mixed race child in the violent township where she settles?
Will Cathleen find her and persuade her to return? Will the two survive until South Africa heals itself?

 

An epic journey.     An uncertain love.     An enduring friendship.
