Can you imagine having to choose between the country of your birth and the future of your children? This was the dilemma facing Sandy Geyer.
Immigrants the world over will identify with Sandy’s honest, moving and at times humorous account of her life in South Africa during the years immediately before and after the fall of Apartheid. From the time when Nelson Mandela was freed in 1990 until the 2009 elections, much has happened in South Africa to the perception of freedom promised and longed for during the turbulent days of the 1970′s and 1980′s.
Few of us can imagine what it must be like to find that freedom has become so fraught with danger that the only option left is to leave your homeland and seek a new life on the other side of the world. In her book, “My Long Flight From Freedom”, Sandy recollects her experiences of life in her homeland and her decision to emigrate to New Zealand.
As a native New Zealander I found this book moving, and enlightening. Easy to read, direct and candid, I laughed and I cried. Above all I found understanding. I consider it a ‘must read’ for all who have South African friends or colleagues. For those who have or are considering emigration, you may find your story here. Buy it now.
