Book excerpt: The cast in Through Dark Eyes are rich with equally strong male and female characters, as tough as they are feminine. In the background, you can feel the changes that are to sweep across Africa. These are pioneering times and the characters work hard and play hard. The land is fertile, but in this savage and dangerous country with its extremes of climate the members of the community need to rely on each other. Passions are seldom far from the surface, and relationships are formed with little heed to suburban niceties. The authors love for the countryside is infectious. Her characters are very obviously drawn from life, and as you follow their fortunes with her you will feel the history of a bygone era.
