All’s well that ends well.
From the beginning we know that
Trudy Smith has an amazing daughter
and a passion for life. Remembering
this makes it easier to read of the
trials, injustices and abuses she went
through in her life.
And yet my past still weighed heavily
and dragged me down… and kept me
there, because it was never far away.
Smith allows the reader to meander
with her through her life against
a backdrop of the South African
veld with colourful imagery and
descriptive prowess. We all have so much
to learn, not only from our own past, but from the lives of others.
To take comfort and strength from the success and happiness of
those who have struggled and won. Her debut novel is a reflective
look back over her life in South Africa. It still resonates today on a
personal and global level. There is something for everyone to take
away from Smith’s debut novel.

place, into Trudy’s childhood and early life. Now living in London, Smith is

Finding Love on a Farm
Trudy Smith
Advertisement
“I lived in Newbury for about ten years
and thoroughly enjoyed walking in the
countryside and along the river. I was so
fascinated that it went through the town
and couldn’t resist feeding the swans and
ducks. Retirement came around suddenly,
and it was then that I decided to gather all
my thoughts I’d stored for a lifetime and
write my memoirs.”
