5.0 out of 5 stars From the back of the book...., 20 Aug 2006
This review is from: Summer Harvest (Paperback)
Set between 1938 and 1968 in a land where gruelling poverty rubs shoulders with remarkable opulence, and moving from the Cape to London and the West Coast of America, SUMMER HARVEST is a family saga in the finest tradition.

At the heart of the story is Anna, a woman as strong and passionate as she is ambitious, who fights her way up from near destitution to become one of the Cape's most prominent and powerful businesswomen. Only love eludes her. For Simon -- a poor farmer when they marry -- has too much masculine pride to stand on the sidelines while Anna plunders her way to a success
that threatens tragedy and loss.

Sarah Harrison, author of THE FLOWERS OF THE FIELD: "Terrific. A book that's big in every sense... rich in detail and written with passion it lives on in the memory. I loved it."

Kate Alexander, author of FRIENDS AND ENEMIES: "Anna van Achtenburgh mirrors the strengths and the weaknesses of her beautiful, harsh country: the thughness, the dazzling material success, the moral dilemmas, the tragedy. I was gripped from start to finish."
