{"product_id":"1480612","title":"Strangers in the Land by Jenny Seed","description":"To the group of settlers, newly arrived from England, the Cape Colony was a strange and disturbed place. There were rumours of past wars with the Xhora tribesmen and countless frustrations for the pioneer farmers as they tried, with difficulty, to grow crops. For young Matthew Thompson the new life was exciting at first, then, as blight and drought hit the growing crops, hard and disheartening. He grew sick of the poverty-striken farm, and the blind faith of his God-fearing father. When his orphan friend, Jeremiah, was in flight from a hard master and the pursuing authorities Matthew suddenly decided to join him in his journey North to new territories and another, ultimately dangerous way of life.
