Adriana vra Ranna en Alex om onder die dekmantel van joernalistiek die storie
van ’n jong vrou onder haar beskerming te ondersoek. Dit bring hulle op die spoor
van ’n ou misdaad – die verdwyning van ’n talentvolle jong kunstenaar wat in
haar matriekjaar spoorloos verdwyn het. Die meisie se destydse kêrel en haar
kunsonderwyser is verdink, maar die saak is nooit opgelos nie. ’n Foto van die
meisie naby ’n aborsiekliniek in Johannesburg speel ’n kardinale rol. In die foto
kyk sy oor haar skouer, asof sy bang is sy word agtervolg. Alex dek ook ’n
storie oor ’n jong onwettige immigrant wat van vervolging in sy eie land gevlug het
om ’n nuwe lewe in SuidAfrika te maak. Maar xenofobie dreig om sy drome te
verwoes. AJ Williams is op dertig kaptein in die polisie, maar sy veg om die
stereotipering te oorkom wat haar bruin vel en geslag ontlok. ’n Foto van Ranna
in Pretoria sit AJ op dié se spoor.
A Good Morning America Book Club Pick | A New York Times
bestseller! "Utterly addictive." -Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl
on the Train "Hooks you from the very first page and will have you
racing to get to the end."-Good Morning America A tense,
page-turning psychological drama about the making and breaking of a
family-and a woman whose experience of motherhood is nothing at all
what she hoped for-and everything she feared Blythe Connor is
determined that she will be the warm, comforting mother to her new
baby Violet that she herself never had. But in the thick of
motherhood's exhausting early days, Blythe becomes convinced that
something is wrong with her daughter-she doesn't behave like most
children do. Or is it all in Blythe's head? Her husband, Fox, says
she's imagining things. The more Fox dismisses her fears, the more
Blythe begins to question her own sanity, and the more we begin to
question what Blythe is telling us about her life as well. Then
their son Sam is born-and with him, Blythe has the blissful
connection she'd always imagined with her child. Even Violet seems
to love her little brother. But when life as they know it is
changed in an instant, the devastating fall-out forces Blythe to
face the truth. The Push is a tour de force you will read in a
sitting, an utterly immersive novel that will challenge everything
you think you know about motherhood, about what we owe our
children, and what it feels like when women are not believed.
