She lived a life of ‘self-sufficiency’ on a smallholding before going to South Africa in 1981 with her husband and very small children, where they lived on a farm in Natal (subject of her first book, African Ways). She currently lives on a barge in Rotterdam, a rather special lifestyle. Her second book, Watery Ways, is about her first year of living on the Dutch waterways . The Skipper’s Child was influenced by her Dutch partner’s childhood growing up on a commercial barge. However, although the family and some of the events and anecdotes are founded in fact, the story is purely fictional.vizualizați mai puține
