About the book
When Ann Calvert went to spend a month on a South African farm with Theo Borland and his sister, she expected a pleasant holiday; just that. But she got both less and more than she bargained for. Both Theo and Elva proved to be different from her first idea of them, and there was a totally unexpected element in the person of Storr Peterson -- the most dynamic and disturbing man she had ever met.
