Inhaltsangabe

A sweeping African saga of family, conflict, and the land that shapes them. England, 1887. When seventeen-year-old Sebastian Brigandshaw is cast out by his domineering father, he is exiled to southern Africa-an untamed land on the edge of change. Under the mentorship of Tinus, a seasoned Boer hunter, Sebastian learns to survive the bush, navigate a divided society, and carve out a life far from the world that rejected him. But Africa is a place of shifting loyalties: British ambition, Boer resilience, and the struggles of indigenous peoples collide as the Boer War draws near. As tensions rise and the continent is pulled towards conflict, Sebastian is drawn into a story far larger than himself-one that tests his courage, reshapes his identity, and binds him to a land he comes to love as fiercely as those who call it home. Rich in historical detail and unforgettable characters, Echoes from the Past brings southern Africa's landscapes, cultures, and conflicts vividly to life. It is an epic tale of survival, legacy, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Perfect for readers of Wilbur Smith, Ken Follett, and sweeping frontier sagas, this is historical fiction that feels lived-in, immersive, and deeply moving. Begin the unforgettable journey today.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Peter Rimmer was born in London, England, and grew up in the south of the city where he went to school. After the Second World War, aged eighteen, he joined the Royal Air Force, reaching the rank of Pilot Officer before he was nineteen. At the end of his National Service, he sailed for Africa to grow tobacco in what was then Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. The years went by and Peter found himself in Johannesburg where he established an insurance brokering company. Over 2% of the companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange were clients of Rimmer Associates. He opened branches in the United States of America, Australia and Hong Kong and travelled extensively between them. Having lived a reclusive life on his beloved smallholding in Knysna, South Africa, for over 25 years, Peter passed away in July 2018. He has left an enormous legacy of unpublished work for his family to release over the coming years, and not only they but also his readers from around the world will sorely miss him. Peter Rimmer was 81 years old.
