Description

In Dances in the Desert, Gerry du Preez has very little money, but is a master auto mechanic and has a love for farming. Oma Gisela Bieleveldt, an old lady and a shrewd judge of character, gives him the opportunity to trade his soul-breaking city life for a back-breaking opportunity to realize his dreams. Oma's granddaughter, Gretha, is not sure this arrangement can work since their farm is almost bankrupt, but decides to give Gerry the chance he craves. His hard work and knowledge of things mechanical helps save the farm and earns him the respect of the women. The respect changes to love when the two young people are thrown together by the twists of fate on their Kalahari Desert farm. The story is set in the sand dunes of the Kalahari Desert of Namibia during the 1990s, after the cessation of the border war between South Africa and Namibian freedom fighters. Dances in the Desert is storytelling at its finest. About the Author: John D'Alton grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa.
