The Echoing Cliffs is an enchanting story. It is about the last cave-dwellers of the Stone Age who, by a freak of history, still survived a mere three centuries ago, when the first white men landed in South Africa.
For untold thousands of years, before the Bantu moved down from the North, brown-skinned Hottentots owned the land. The first men the Dutch saw when they landed at the Cape in 1652 were the gay, attractive Strandlooper, Hottentot people who ran naked among the cliffs of the southernmost African shore.
These are the people of The Echoing Cliffs, men and women of intelligence and humour, whose joy of life shines through the narrative.
