About this listen

In 1887, a tyrannical father exiles his seventeen-year-old son from England. Against a backdrop of greed, the brewing Boer War and friendship stronger than blood, Sebastian Brigandshaw reacts with a desperate plan...

If it fails, he will go to trial and face execution. Sebastian left more behind than England though. He was also denied contact with Emily, his childhood sweetheart. In Africa, he has found another land to claim his heart, one that pulses with opportunity and where he can throw himself into new challenges. But there is only one Emily, and for her he gambles everything.

Spanning continents, war, political struggles, secrets, and a smouldering landscape beneath an infinite sky, Echoes from the Past is a tour-de-force of rich historical detail, the human heart and the forging of a new life in a harsh but rewarding land. And gut-wrenching choices…

Beautifully written book about the history of South Africa. It made me wish I could go back there! 

Wonderful book!

The story is good and I appreciated the balanced view about the Boer War. Unfortunately the pronunciation of ‘The Taal’ and later called Afrikaans words and surnames is disappointing and takes away from the listening experience.

Balanced view

I really enjoyed this book. We don’t always realize just how bad people can behave against others. Greed is always that way.

Mesmerizing

I enjoyed the fully developed characters and following their stories over time. Mankind doesn’t seem to learn from past mistakes.

Moving historical story

I found this book tedious- interesting history for sure but I kept losing attention while listening. I did complete about 3/4 of it before moving on to a different book.

Tedious
