Liaisons- Life in a Colonial County (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Liaisons explores the hardships, frustrations, failings and fortunes of two fictitious families within an isolated, sugar-growing, colonial county community in Victorian times. Besides liaisons that involve tragedy, love, sex, violence, murder, attempted rape, kidnapping and near-drowning, issues such as women's rights, social conventions, labour exploitation, predatory capitalism and racial divisions are examined in the context of their time. Emerging from some potentially fatal experiences is the

heroine of the tale - Anne Prescott.

____________________________________________

With Liaisons, Duncan Du Bois provides insight into a time that has shaped our society. Within the fictional tapestry he weaves, the challenges and tribulations of the Europeans who settled along the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast are revisited. Their interaction with the indigenous inhabitants and the Indians, who came initially as indentured labourers, extends the historical dimension Liaisons affords in understanding how our past impacts on the present.
