Blurb on the book:
Sex, drugs and gardening. That’s the spirit of Garden of My Ancestors, a story about a family farm set in the wild and misty reaches of Limpopo. The farm belongs to an infamous family whose ancestors settled here more than a century ago. This is the African tale of a wonderful family where White Mischief meets magic realism. Garden of My Ancestors is sad, tragic, funny and philosophical.
