‘Life so far had just led from one thing to another in a haphazard sort of way.'
Hillary
Rohde has given us a most inspiring and enjoyable account of her
life’s journey. From the very first page the reader will be
captivated by her energy as she leaves South Africa to study in
London, dives comfortable into the London 60’s scene, finds love
and travels spontaneously to places in a way that will leave you
envious. She shares her broken heart with the reader and how she
discovers her passion for spinning which drives her career into a
successful direction, how she finds love again and embarks on a
journey which brings her back to South Africa and sharing her memoir
with us.
The
memoir is a compilation of stories from Rohde’s life that follow a
chronological order, where she clearly illustrates how each event
leads to the next or as she eloquently states, ‘Life so far had
just led from one thing to another in a haphazard sort of way.’
Hillary
Rohde writes with humour, clarity and honesty, allowing the reader to
enter her thoughts and accompany her along her incredible journey.
For
those who have a sense of wanderlust and are looking for an armchair
adventure, The Other Side is a must read.
With
grace, this is a memoir of Rohde’s life thus far and hopefully we
will be privileged to be able to read yet more great tales from this
remarkable woman who, through a curiosity for life, has allowed
herself to be open to life experiences, leading her to extraordinary
tales.
‘It’ll
be important to have some continuity in my new life. I’ve no idea
where it will go, but writing has been my on-going fantasy for the
longest time. Stories are accumulating in my head.’
So we
enthusiastically wait for Hillary Rohde’s next account of inspiring
tales to be taken on a journey of inspiration and admiration.
