What a work! Here, Cape Town's superb natural beauty is depicted in non-pareil fashion. Anna Rossouw, intensely intellectual (like the author of this work) is ineluctably a lover of nature, with extraordinary dedication to flora in particular. This novel showcases waves of sublime descriptions as Anna inter alia shows how broad-minded she is in the (erstwhile) enclave of apartheid, even going as far as to hide a couple of her own students from the powers that be. The author has been widely praised for this work, as she "conveyed the spiritual reality of apartheid". A brilliant, intellectual, rewarding, haunting work (and make sure you have your big dictionary beside you as you read it. Serious)...
