About the Book

Aletta: A Tale of the Boer Invasion by Bertram Mitford is a historical novel set during the turbulent period of the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902). The story follows Aletta, a young woman caught in the midst of the conflict between British forces and the Boer republics in South Africa. As the war escalates, Aletta's life is dramatically altered by the invasion and the shifting allegiances of those around her. The novel explores love, loyalty, and survival amidst the chaos of war. Aletta's personal journey is intertwined with the broader narrative of the war, as she faces the challenges of living in a country divided by conflict. The story reflects on the impact of war on civilian life, particularly for women, and the complexities of maintaining personal integrity in a time of national crisis. Mitford's tale weaves together themes of sacrifice, betrayal, and resilience, offering a poignant look at the emotional and moral costs of war. Aletta is a powerful exploration of the human side of history, set against the backdrop of one of South Africa's most defining conflicts.

About the Author :
Bertram Mitford was an English colonial writer, novelist, essayist, and cultural critic, born on June 13, 1855, in Bath, United Kingdom. He was the third son of Edward Ledwich Osbaldeston Mitford, a member of the prominent Mitford family. Mitford is best known for his novels set in South Africa, a country he came to know intimately and where much of his writing is based. His works often reflect the political, social, and environmental challenges of life in colonial Africa. Over the course of his career, Mitford wrote forty-four books, with many focusing on adventure, colonial conflicts, and the complexities of the British Empire in Africa. His vivid descriptions of the South African landscape and his nuanced portrayal of colonial life garnered him a lasting place in the genre of adventure fiction. Mitford's deep understanding of the region and its cultures also made him a respected cultural critic and essayist. Mitford passed away on October 4, 1914, in Cowfold, United Kingdom. His books continue to be valued for their insight into the colonial period and their exciting plots.
