Poetic and beautiful

A powerful story about two very different characters, written in beautiful and at times densely poetic prose. Hennie is 17 and leaves the family farm in the drought ravaged Free State and by chance ends up on a wine farm near Paarl, taken in by Antoinette who recently inherited from her father. Both have abusive fathers and are searching for connection and redemption. Other characters flesh out the complexities of life in South Africa. A great read and a writer to watch.
