Em is Lyndall's cousin and best friend, and Waldo is a young man who comes to work on the farm.The novel explores themes of gender roles, religion, and the clash between traditional African culture and European colonialism. Lyndall, in particular, is a complex character who challenges the gender norms of her time and struggles to find her place in the world.The Story of an African Farm was groundbreaking for its time, as it was one of the first novels to be written by a South African author and to explore the experiences of women and people of color in colonial Africa.
