Title : This Life - Karel Schoeman - book
Summary :
Alone in the darkness of her room, an old woman is dying and reflects on her discreet life, spent listening to and observing others. In the twilight of her existence, she finally lifts the veil on the unspoken secrets of her clan and pieces together an intimate puzzle, full of resentment and pain. Against a backdrop of a landscape woven by wind, dust, and silence, a phantom world unfolds before her eyes: that of the Afrikaners, austere and secretly ardent, who arrived in the arid lands of South Africa at the beginning of the 19th century. There "where forgiveness does not exist."
"His work is most subtle, full of nuances and chiaroscuro, like cello music laid on the wounds of a fratricidal nation."
André Clavel, Time
