Summary

** "Home Life on an Ostrich Farm" by Annie Martin is a memoir that offers a window into the author's life as a late 19th-century settler and ostrich farmer in South Africa. The story recounts her voyage from England with her husband, driven by the ambition to cultivate an ostrich farm in the picturesque landscapes of South Africa. Martin vividly illustrates the stark contrasts between her English upbringing and the vibrant, untamed beauty of her new home, painting pictures of the local culture, encounters with unique wildlife, and the challenges and rewards of pioneering life. The book captures the essence of adventure and the appeal of life in colonial South Africa, chronicling her interactions with the Malay population and the intricacies of establishing an ostrich farm in Walmer. **
