A lavish publication, illustrating the very best that can be done with family history. OCLC finds just two repositories: Harvard and Cape Town University libraries. "Told mostly through her own letters, Voices in the Sun traces the life and work of Elsie Fraser Munn. Widowed at 41 with three young daughters, Elsie was a woman of great physical and spiritual energy. She was an inspirational teacher who literally transformed people's lives through music. Her warmth of personality touched all with whom she came in touch in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ghana and South Africa. Her letters speak of the political changes through which she lived, her unbridled love for her family and the pivots of her life: her house in Bulawayo, her children, grandchildren and her friends - amongst whom is included her resolute attendant Tayitayi Johnson (George) Mlotshwa."
