  • "The third part of Lady Packer's autobiography, telling of life after her husband's retirement from the navy."@en
  • "Joy Packer was born and brought up in South Africa and when her husband Admiral Sir Herbert Packer, retired from the Navy in 1955, they decided to put down roots at last and settle in the Cape Peninsula. Since then she has built a home, written several novels, and seen one of them, "Nor the Moon by Night", made into a film in Zululand. In this book she describes her life in South Africa, and observes the changing scene- the growth of African nationalism and the emergence of the new states to the north, and the intensification and expansion of Afrikaner nationalism in the South Africa Repiblic. She sees clearly the dangers ahead but she does not pretend to offer easy solutions, and she reports fairly the divergent viewpoints of those involved."
