R140.00 Incl Vat
Linda Fortune was born in the St Monica's Maternity Home in Bo-Kaap, half an hour's walk across town from Tyne Street, District Six, where she grew up and lived with her family up to the age of twenty-two. The second eldest of eight children, she attended St Mark's Primary in William Street from Sub A to Standard Two, St Mark's in Tennant Street from Standard Three to Five, and then Trafalgar High in Birchington Street.
After leaving school, she worked as a secretary and office administrator until 1994, when she became an education officer at the District Six Museum in Buitenkant Street, Cape Town.
Her abiding love is for the outdoors. She used to be a keen mountaineer, and as a young girl, living so close to it, she escaped onto Table Mountain at every possible opportunity.  She is married, has three children, and now lives in Parow.
This is her first book.
