Rooikraal Revisited: Farming During Apartheid. Though Dylan Weston now lives in California, the colorful and often humorous stories she has written in this collection come out of her direct experience of life on two farms in South Africa during the Apartheid years.   They are interesting not only for the characters and situations they describe, but for the light they shed on an historical era now forever (many will say thankfully!)  consigned to the past.     Writers Club Press.
