'Historically accurate, yet with disarming simplicity, this diary fascinates like a romance. It describes primitive life in the Transvaal, and pictures War as seen by women in homesteads and camps - War in naked stupidity, waste and squalor. "Its is a revelation of human nature," wrote Olive Schreiner. "I think it will be of permanent value."
