Synopsis
Set against the turbulent history of southern Africa and the Boer War, Echoes from the Past follows Sebastian Brigandshaw, an exiled young Englishman searching for friendship, purpose, and a place to belong far from home. Perfect for readers who enjoy the epic historical storytelling of Ken Follett and Wilbur Smith.
England, 1887. Cast out by a father who despises him, seventeen-year-old Sebastian Brigandshaw leaves behind the woman he loves and the only home he has ever known.
Arriving alone in southern Africa, he expects hardship and survival.
Instead, he finds Tinus, a Boer hunter who offers him friendship, guidance, and a chance to build a new life beneath African skies.
For the first time, Sebastian feels he belongs somewhere.
But as war approaches and a devastating truth about his childhood sweetheart, Emily, reaches him from England, he is forced to choose between the life he left behind and the one he has fought to build.
Rich in history, unforgettable characters, and the beauty and hardship of southern Africa, Echoes from the Past begins the Brigandshaw Chronicles, an epic historical fiction series spanning 16 novels.

Review
When the micro surpasses the macro
A loving, productive multi-lingual multi-ethnic micro society develops on an isolated farm, only to be fractured by the Boer War. Male characters, even the grandfather grown "potty," are excellently developed. Though a long read, this book engages the mind on historical issues while forcing the reader to confront contemporary issues as well.
Very enjoyable
Peter Rimmer never fails to capture the savage beauty of the land. He manages to tell his story with a balanced viewpoint, between the Boers, the indigenous peoples and the British in their struggle for supremacy.
A must read!
A similar author to Wilbur Smith. Set in South Africa with very interesting characters.
