The Desiderata Stone
Kuhusu kitabu hiki cha kusikiliza
When all the Christians were thrown to the lions
Daisy Hayes was a blind sculptress, invited to the Vatican Museums in 1964 to study arch-aeological artefacts by touch. In AD 64 a blind masseuse working at the baths in Rome overheard some important men plotting to set fire to the city and seize power. 1900 years later, Daisy uncovered her mysterious message from antiquity: the Desiderata stone.

Nick Aaron is Dutch, but he was born in South Africa (1956), where he attended a British-style boarding school, in Pietersburg, Transvaal. Later he lived in Lausanne (Switzerland), in Rotterdam, Luxembourg and Belgium. He worked for the European Parliament as a printer and proofreader. Currently he's retired and lives in Malines.
Recently, after writing in Dutch and French for many years, the author went back to the language of his mid-century South African childhood. A potential global readership was the incentive; the trigger was the character of Daisy Hayes, who asserted herself in his mind wholly formed.
