Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Wild Honey: Stories of South Africa" by Cynthia Stockley is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. This work presents a fictional exploration of life in South Africa, focusing particularly on the experiences of Vivienne Carlton, a young woman navigating societal changes and personal struggles. The themes of class, femininity, and ambition intertwine as Vivienne seeks to reclaim her lost status amidst the backdrop of the South African landscape. At the start of the book, Vivienne is introduced as a discontented passenger on a mule mail-coach traveling to Buluwayo, expressing her disdain for the company she keeps. Through her reflections, we learn of her recent fall from grace, as her family's fortunes have declined dramatically, leaving her alone to forge her path in journalism. As the journey continues, she becomes increasingly absorbed in her memories of loss, ambition, and a yearning for social power. When the mail-coach stops for the night at a native village, a tragic story about a lost child disturbs her, triggering a deeper reflection on her own sense of loneliness and societal alienation. The opening establishes statistical discomforts, a longing for dignity, and hints at an upcoming transformation for Vivienne as she navigates both physical hardships and the emotional toll of her circumstances.
