The Road through the Grove – A book of the ‘burbs 

Compiled by John Burgess, the preview promises a nostalgic trip down memory lane for South Africans who lived in the country during the 50’s, 60’s & 70’s.  Although it does focus on Louis Botha Avenue, Orange Grove in Jozi, it is certain to be of interest to anyone who lived in the country.  There is mention of holidays in Durbs, so what’s not to love?
