"When We Dance is a fascinating account of the life of a woman who played a major role in South Africa's journey from apartheid to democracy, and went on to become South African ambassador to Ireland. The book takes the reader on a remarkable journey through Melanie's life, from her upbringing in South Africa's Afrikaner heartland, to her involvement with the ANC, & her work in Ireland as South African ambassador and head of UNICEF Ireland. She also writes movingly about her relationship with the late RTÉ presenter Gerry Ryan"--Publisher's website.
