What readers think about my novel, "ALIWAL"
[image error]
html hit counter A number of readers have made comments about my recently published novel about the life of one of my ancestors in mid - 19th century South Africa.
"Finished Aliwal. Loved it. When's the next one due?" (R. Zainulbhai)
"This book brought back some interesting memories of visits to the town of Aliwal North both as a child and as an adult. As a child I visited the old Bergman store many times and I was reminded of this as I read this fascinating piece of personal history. I commend this book to others seeking to know more about their forebears, Adam Yamey's research into his relative is a great piece of detective work and the story is well told here." (PG Cox, writing on Amazon.com)
"... I recommend this book to all who are interested in German Jewry, early South African colonial history, and to those who just want a good read." (S. Issroff writing in 'Shemot')
"It is well written and reads easily thanks both to the pleasant linearity of the plot and the large use of dialogues.The reader is soon captivated by the adventurous story of its hero and at the end wonders how such a smart and successful man might have so easily become the victim of some mean swindlers and fall therefore from the highest peaks of prosperity and reputation to the desperate situation which drove him to suicide.I congratulate you upon the result of your patient and interesting research into the tragic end of your unfortunate ancestor."
