Lovely Beyond Any Singing, by Helen Moffett (used)

This book showcases scenes and vistas of 'the beloved country' as described by South Africa's writers.

Through a wealth of forms, from hard-hitting journalism to lyrical meditations, from drama to poetry, the authors look backwards, forwards and inwards to locate themselves in their landscape and in their country's complex history.

Paddle through the desert on the Orange River; jive in Sophiatown; shelter on the stoep of a Karoo farm; exalt in the fury of a Drakensberg storm.

With its inclusion of new voices as well as favourite texts, Lovely Beyond Any Singing is both a fascinating introduction to local writing and a treat for those who love armchair travel.
