This book was released after Dalene Matthee's death and it is definitely not one of her best books - Kringe in 'n bos and Fiela se kind will always stay my favourites.
However this book made me think - it is about people who does not fit itno the society around them but in the end they do find piece and a purpose in the life they choose to lead.
I think that is incredibly fitting for all the people who choose to leave South Africa to build a whole new life in a new country. You do know that you are a stranger but you embrace the new and honour the old.
A good quick read - I finished the book in an afternoon when the weather was bad on vacation.
