Rare early novel by acclaimed South African writer Dorothea Fairbridge, here in the first edition published by Juta in Cape Town in 1915. Deals with a woman's experiences in South Africa.

Green cloth boards, very good condition.  Front free endpaper slightly scuffed on the reverse and edges of the spine slightly worn but overall very good for this scarce title.  Neat name on half title page.

"I do not imply that when Miss Agatha Lumsden decided to go to South Africa she was not fully conscious of the magnitude of the undertaking. Only , her wildest dreams...fell so far short of what the reality was going to mean to her and several other people" (!).
