Lady Ann recorded life in the Cape and its hinterland in 1799 and 1800 with more interest and detail than any other writer of the period. Her entries carry frank, witty and insightful observations about the life and people of the Cape, including the plight of slaves and the Governor and his quarrelsome household. She also describes her own life, including her marriage to a man 12 years her junior, political upheavals, shipwrecks, salve uprisings and travels into the rural areas.
