Read extract
Readers say
‘A powerful story written with clarity, composure and compassion. . . Davids expresses herself with such fl uency and insight that the aromas and colours, the pains and the pleasures, the aspirations and the suppressions of Lansdowne Dearest feel near and real. This book is a must-read.’
– Jonathan Jansen
‘An affectionate, often pained family record and a vivid tile in the mosaic of South African stories.’
– Michele Magwood
