FAMILY squabbles dash the silver spoon from the lips of young Northumberland aristocrat Nathanial Davison at an early age and he elects to try his luck in South Africa where life is both a challenge and an opportunity.

Succeeding beyond his wildest dreams, he sets his sights on reclaiming his old home and achieving a family reconciliation, tasks which prove as demanding as any of those he faces in Africa.

Set in the early 1800s, this historical saga by Northumberland author Taylor puts you right inside the skin of a man who is up for anything fate can throw at him.austinmacauley.com
