Toe Debbie Calitz en Bruno Pelizzari in Oktober 2010 in Dar-es-Salaam anker lig, sou hulle nooit kon raai dat hulle op ’n hellevaart vertrek nie.

Drie dae nadat hulle as bemanningslede op die seiljag Choizel vertrek het, is die vaartuig gekaap deur Somaliese seerowers wat ʼn losprys vir Debbie en Bruno geëis het. Twintig maande lank is die paartjie van die een donker hool na die ander verskuif, telkens met ander oppassers wat hulle – en veral vir Debbie – aan onbeskryflike gruweldade onderwerp het.

Dit was Debbie se geestelike ingesteldheid, haar medemenslikheid, en ironies genoeg, haar verlede as ʼn slagoffer van mishandeling, wat haar aan die lewe help hou het deur positief te bly en te glo dat sy en Bruno gered sou word.

In hierdie meesleurende boek oor afskuwelike ontmensliking onthul Debbie die besonderhede van hul beproewing en hul uiteindelike bevryding. Dit is die verhaal van ʼn vrou se onoorwinlike moed toe vryheid en menswaardigheid nog net ʼn vae herinnering was.

Toe Eugene Marais deurtrek van malaria en morfien by 'n vreemde plaashuis in die Waterberg ingeneem word, verander daardie huishouding heeltemal. Twee vroue ding mee om sy aandag - Maria, die huisvrou, en Jane, 'n jong meisie onder die gesin se sorg. En op hulle beurt is daar twee jaloerse mans - Gys, die eggenoot, en hul seun, Adderjan. Oor die maande waarin Marais onder die sorg van die twee vroue herstel, verrig hy wat vir die plaasmense en hul bure na wonderwerke lyk. Hy versamel en ondersoek byna alles, maak diere mak en bring hulle in sy kamer in, genees besoekers. Hy "mesmeraais" mense en hou hom besig met dinge wat soos toordery lyk. Algaande bring sy teenwoordigheid in almal die verlange na iets onbereikbaars na vore, maar dis Marais se verlange na die jongmeisie, en hare na hom en na 'n ander lewe, wat al die verswee konflikte op die spits dryf.
