Historical novel set in South Africa in 1895-1896.
"Terence weaves a story of the events surrounding the ill-fated Jameson Raid of 1895-1896 around a guilt-ridden Johannesburg, Harold, his Boer neighbour, Gert, and a Botswana youth, Mokgethi. Historically accurate but unlike contemporary histories, this story adds insights into the motivations and actions of people on both sides of the conflict." Rob Milne, battlefield guide and author of Anecdotes of the Anglo-Boer War
