Review of The Scent of Rain:

The Scent of Rain - Africa's own love story.

The most beautiful, sensitive and truly remarkable love story from the heart of Africa. The author's amazing talent to produce a script that plays before you like a real time movie is unique and makes this a must read.

Fact and fiction are brilliantly combined to lead the reader on an informative and intriguing journey through the soul of Africa.

Romance, suspense, humour, and plain attention to detail blend this book into one of the most enjoyable reads you will ever find. One really gets in touch with the author's inner self while reading this story based on true life events.
