Author: Baxter, Marion.
Title: Bitter Aloes. Stories from the Eastern Cape.
Description: Footprint Press 2018. 167pp paperback. Mint condition. ISBN: 9780639932613 You would think not much ever happens in the sleepy towns and dusty pineapple valleys of South Africa's Eastern Cape, yet look deeper. On shade-dappled farmhouse porches and in the back rooms of rented settler-era cottages, stories unfold every day. Stories of loss, love, obsession ... and fish. These stories were circulated privately prior to Author's death in 2002 (see Jeanette Eve's 'A Literary Guide To The Eastern Cape').
