A parcel arrived in Cape Town, that was posted by us at the end of January, it was received by Joe Maxwell.

Picked up another parcel on Thursday.  My goodness you seem to be spending a huge amount of time packing and posting off beautiful things for the children of Browns Farm than any of the recipients  imagine.  Of course the families receiving these donations are grateful, but I am sure they don’t
> even realise what a schlep it must be getting them here. Not much more I can say than another huge THANK YOU to you and all the donors. With a very wet winter predicted, and more flooding of low
lying township shacks, I am expecting to have to increase the production of the Good Night and God Bless sleeping bags starting in April.  Fortunately I have received another R20,000 from my Rotary Club for this purpose. I have also started on another project of putting food parcels together for the elderly, refugees - well anyone in dire need of help.  Because I can go off and buy in bulk and therefore save, volunteers and myself are packaging a full balanced meal which is being sold at cost (around R5.80 per main meal).  This will include oil, spices, vegetables, either  rice/beans/macaroni/mielie meal/samp mielies (depending on whether they are  for pensioners or homeless/refugees) plus small amounts of chicken or beef mince.
I am setting two refugees up in business by giving them 40 prepared packaged meals which will cost around R15.  They will sell for R25 - each meal enough for two people - keep R15 to continue buying and make R10 profit per package.  Of course I have no guarantee that they will continue with the project once they have sold their first free 40 packs, but I will not supply any further unless they give me the money to
shop. Hope it works.
My thanks once again to your wonderful friends, colleagues,
customers for their continued support.

This is a quietly wonderful book - the characters are complex but pictured sympathetically in a way that makes them all positve, even when they are difficult and almost anti-hero types (the bi-polar compulsive artist whose work is far more important to her than her children, her bi-polar drop out daughter roaming europe, and three sons all different and in their own way challenged) And yet this is an immensely postive and caring novel that made me feel hopeful and warm. The evocations of the certainties and claustrophobia of childhood are incredible, time and again I found myself thinking “yes it was like that, how could I have forgotten ?”
A good read, a good story and well worth reading. Get it now!

A very moving and engrossing account of the lives of Seth’s great uncle and aunt in pre-war Berlin, during the war and then in suburban London.
Seth entwines the different parts of their stories in a very readable way.

Well worth reading .
