Summary
A father's ambition, a son's defiance—Against the backdrop of war, can Sebastian's courage reshape the narrative of love, identity, and his father's betrayal?
England 1887
In the grip of his father's ambitions, Sebastian Brigandshaw faces banishment to the colonies, his dreams of love crushed. Yet, at the port of Cape Town, and a chance encounter, Sebastian finds an ally in a Boer hunter.
Together, the men navigate a new life, all the while stirrings of war are threatening everything they’ve built. But they forge a bond that defies borders. And, Sebastian never forgets his first love…
Peter Rimmer's Echoes from the Past is a poignant tale of love, friendship, and the enduring legacy of a man who dared to defy the shadows of his past.

Gripping story line
This is a story about the Boers and the British at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, an era that I have not read much about. At first the narrator annoyed me but I soon got used to his way of speaking and became engrossed in the book
The big problem is that this is book 1 of the Brigandshaw chronicles so one would expect Audible to have the next book and indeed all the books in the series but frustratingly although the other books exist they are not included in Audible. Why start a series and then leave listeners hanging?

A wonderful story of the complexities of Africa
If you like Wilbur Smith you will love Peter Rimmer's stories. Written with love and understanding of the African bush and all its Peoples. Hooked into the plot and characters within the first 10 minutes of listening. m narrator needs to work on his Afrikaans accent and pronounciation of Afrikaans names, but that can be easily overlooked by the gripping saga.

Very accurate storytelling of founding of Rhodesia
As I grew up in Rhodesia and lived and worked in South Africa I found this book to be so accurate both in the Fauna and historical descriptions. The Afrikaaners/Boers came to life as I know them so well. The native people were real and creditable. Many authors often lack in their characteristions in SA contexts. This book is a welcome exception. However, the narration was let down by poor pronounciations of place names and Afrikaans words which grated somewhat.

Not bad
I got lost a couple of times but kept with it to the end. I enjoyed it enough to finish it but not enough to get the next book in the series.
