OverviewWhat does a pretty Afrikaans wife in the 1950s do when the walls start closing in? When her husband is an embittered Ben Schoeman-supporter who struggles with an asthma pump, and her father sees communists and Catholics behind every bush. When the only relief is the annual ATKV concert in Hartenbos? And especially when her salt-of-the-earth neighbors are suddenly forced to pack up and move away? Jeanne Goosen tells the story of how Doris van Greunen tries to break out of her world: with her job as an usherette at the bioscope, with her Cavallas, with friends like Aunt Mavis and Uncle Tank and with Barnie, the swank. Through the eyes of a child Doris s daughter, Gertie the story explores the universal yearning for love and romance.This is an English edition of the award-winning and groundbreaking novel from one of South Africa s most popular authors.
