Met Louw Roodt se verdwyning ná ’n werkgeselligheid word Kristien Liebenberg se grootste vrees bewaarheid: Haar lewensmaat kom nie huis toe nie. Was Louw in ’n ongeluk, het sy ’n affair, is sy ontvoer, aangerand, of erger, in die sandduine en bosse van die Kaapse Vlakte vir dood agtergelaat? Of het dit met hulle groot bekgeveg die oggend te doen?

Toe breek die nuus van ’n man wat in ’n Kaapse hotel vermoor is. Dieselfde hotel waar Louw was. Dieselfde aand as wat sy verdwyn het. Dieselfde man wat vroeër dié dag die gasspreker by haar werk was. Het Louw iets met die moord te doen en vlug sy nou? Die polisie dink so. Of hou die verdwyning verband met haar ma wat een-en-twintig jaar gelede voor hulle huis in Tamboerskloof met motor en al gekaap is? ’n Voorval wat vir Louw ’n groot sielkundige knou gegee het.

Deur al die vrae en groeiende paniek, weet Kristien Louw is in die moeilikheid en sy moet haar red.

Nadine Gordimer's subtle and detailed study of the forces and relationships seething in the South Africa of the day.

Mehring is rich. He has all the privileges and possessions that South Africa has to offer, but his possessions refuse to remain objects. His wife, son and mistress leave him; his foreman and workers become increasingly indifferent to his stewardship; even the land rises up, as drought, then flood, destroy his farm. As the upheaval in Mehring's world increasingly resembles that in the country as a whole, it becomes clear that only a seismic shift in ideas and concrete action can avert annihilation.

"Those old cows knew trouble was coming before we did." So begins the story of Lily Casey Smith, Jeannette Walls's no-nonsense, resourceful, and spectacularly compelling grandmother. By age six, Lily was helping her father break horses. At fifteen, she left home to teach in a frontier town--riding five hundred miles on her pony, alone, to get to her job. She learned to drive a car and fly a plane. And, with her husband, Jim, she ran a vast ranch in Arizona. She raised two children, one who is Jeannette's memorable mother, Rosemary Smith Walls, unforgettably portrayed in The Glass Castle.
Lily survived tornadoes, droughts, floods, the Great Depression, and the most heartbreaking personal tragedy. She bristled at prejudice of all kinds--against women, Native Americans, and anyone else who didn't fit the mold. Rosemary Smith Walls always told Jeannette that she was like her grandmother, and in this true-life novel, Jeannette Walls channels that kindred spirit. Half Broke Horses is Laura Ingalls Wilder for adults, as riveting and dramatic as Isak Dinesen's Out of Africa or Beryl Markham's West with the Night. Destined to become a classic, it will transfix readers everywhere.
