Inhaltsangabe

From the quiet fields of Dorset on the eve of World War II to the embattled farms of Rhodesia in the 1970s, All Our Yesterdays traces families bound to the land they love… and to the storms of history they cannot escape.

Marguerite Stearle grows up among Dorset’s cliffs and fields, her childhood shaped by loss and the steady rhythms of the countryside. Family, friends, and the land itself anchor her as war, class, and social change sweep through her world.

Love carries her across continents, from Dorset to Rhodesia, where she and her husband face the beauty and brutality of a land in upheaval. The rising tide of guerrilla warfare, the collapse of old certainties, and the cost of holding on to home and hope test them at every turn.

As farms burn and communities fracture, as generations are pushed to the brink, one question hangs over them: can love—and loyalty—endure when history calls, or will they be swept away by forces beyond their control?

Across continents, across generations, the tides of empire shape all they touch.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Peter Rimmer was born in London, England, and grew up in the south of the city where he went to school. After the Second World War, aged eighteen, he joined the Royal Air Force, reaching the rank of Pilot Officer before he was nineteen. At the end of his National Service, he sailed for Africa to grow tobacco in what was then Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. The years went by and Peter found himself in Johannesburg where he established an insurance brokering company. Over 2% of the companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange were clients of Rimmer Associates. He opened branches in the United States of America, Australia and Hong Kong and travelled extensively between them. Having lived a reclusive life on his beloved smallholding in Knysna, South Africa, for over 25 years, Peter passed away in July 2018. He has left an enormous legacy of unpublished work for his family to release over the coming years, and not only they but also his readers from around the world will sorely miss him. Peter Rimmer was 81 years old.
