  • "A Twist of Sand" revisited

    From Steve Hayes@3:633/10 to All on Monday, April 20, 2026 05:35:48
    Many years ago I read "A Twist of Sand", an adventure/thriller by
    Geoffrey Jenkins.

    It's mostly set in Namibia, and when I first read it I hadn't ever set
    foot in Namibia. I recently found a copy in a second-hand bookshop,
    and bought and re-read it, but thisn time after I had been in Namibia.

    My before & after review here:
