This is the personal memoirs of a lady who grew up as an Afrikaaner in apartheid South Africa. It gives an insight into her every day life and her relationship with her father who she portrays as a rather bullying, racist character. She goes on to describe her various relationships, both in South Africa and USA, where she traveled ‘to find love and meaning’. She shares her innermost thoughts with the reader and the book contains much self-examination as the author tries to understand her behaviour and her life.
The author says that she wrote her memoir in a quest to make spiritual sense of the traumatic life events she has experienced.
To be honest, this book wasn’t for me, but it may help others who resonate with her experiences.
