This is a charming child-eye's view of Johannesburg, from 1910 when the author was born. She traces her life around the city moving from suburb to suburb, and from school to school and on to Wits University. The author warns that some of her memories are a little dusty, but it's still a worthwhile read for a feel of a bygone time that appeared to move to another clock.
