Publisher's Synopsis
A Year's Housekeeping in South Africa is a memoir written by Mary Anne Barker in 1883. The book details her experiences as the wife of an English colonial administrator in South Africa during the late 19th century. Barker's vivid descriptions of daily life in South Africa offer readers a glimpse into a world that was largely unknown to most people in England at the time. She writes about the challenges of running a household in a remote and often hostile environment, as well as the social and political issues that were prevalent in the region. Barker also provides insights into the lives of the indigenous people of South Africa, and her observations on their customs and traditions are both fascinating and informative. Overall, A Year's Housekeeping in South Africa is a captivating account of life in a bygone era, and it remains a valuable historical document to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
