Most acclaimed
Mayenga Farm
Rennie Gaynor found Kent Bradfield’s criticisms of the way she and her father ran their farm quite intolerable. It was true that they were rather poor and unused to South Africa, but Kent’s assurance and good looks annoyed her. It was not until Rennie’s sophisticated friend Jackie came to stay with the Gaynors and showed a distinct interest in Kent, that Rennie herself found that her feelings for Kent were something deeper than anger. In “Mayenga Farm” Kathryn Blair describes how these two stubborn people, Rennie and Kent, came to realize that they needed each other.
No Other Haven
From the moment Lindsey Gresham and Stuart Conlowe met, on board the ship that was taking them both to Cape Town, they felt attracted to each other. And when Lindsey received a cable informing her of the death of the aunt to whom she was travelling - an event which left her alone in the world and penniless - Stuart at once suggested that she should marry him. They were, he said, very good friends, and their marriage would remain on a purely friendly footing until their mutual liking had grown into love. But marriages in name only, rarely prosper; and the difficulties in Lindsey's case were further complicated by the advent of the other woman in Stuart's life.
The Affair in Tangier
She might have realised, Tess Carlen thought bitterly, that when her stepmother invited her to spend the summer with her in Tangier, there would be strings attached. Clare, it seemed, had two suitors - the rich but solid Victor Mears, and the glamorous Ramon Guevara - and it was to be Tess's task to keep Victor occupied until Clare discovered just where she stood with Ramon. Tess's misgivings grew stronger when the English doctor, Philip Westland, warned her that Ramon's reputation was unsavoury even in such a place of mystery and intrigue as Tangier, but Philip failed to warn her about the final complication - that of falling in love with a man who had no interest in her.
