Hilary Crowley's Mini Saga in South Africa will be launched on Saturday, Oct. 28 at Art Space above Books & Co., 1681 Third Ave., at 7 p.m.
Retired PrinceGeorge physiotherapist Hilary Crowley has written a travel memoir about her time in South Africa.
“I spent a year in South Africa from 1967 to ’68 so it was a long time ago but this is largely about my experiences at that time and it was during apartheid,” Crowley said. “A physio colleague, Penny, and I traveled around the country in her Morris Mini and that’s why I called the book a Mini Saga. We worked long enough in each city to make enough money to go on to the next place.”
During their non-working hours, the young women hiked the Drakensberg, visited Zululand, viewed wildlife in Kruger National Park, getting stuck there when the Mini broke down and finding themselves surrounded by elephants.Crowley’s travel memoir not only recounts her exciting adventures, but also explores the political landscape of the time and the effects apartheid had on the African people.
