Pogroms and the Holocaust, xenophobia and the Bush War provide the
backdrop for Illuminating Love. The novel entwines the journeys of
two Jewish women, Judith, an immigrant to South Africa, forced to
leave her home and family in Eastern Europe before World War II,
and Cally her granddaughter living in contemporary South Africa.
While rendering Judith's poems in calligraphy, Cally uncovers her
family's history and roots in the shtetls of Lithuania and she
memorialises this past. Judith's love poems also serve as a
counterpoint for Cally's own circumstances. Trapped in a cycle of
abuse, she also inscribes a Ketuba, the Jewish marriage contract
for Aaron and Shira, as well as a love sampler for her husband Jake
in order to win him back.
