A remarkable novel by one of the most important Afrikaans writers
of our time. The Afrikaans edition, Die boek van toeval en
toeverlaat, has already won three major literary awards. Two of the
novel's most important themes are loss and concealment: A woman
goes to Durban to assist in an Afrikaans language preservation
project. Then her cottage is burgled and her beautiful collection
of shells is missing. Her determined search for her shells becomes
interwoven with her work and the people she gets to know,
especially her new friend, Sof. And in the process she also
reflects on her life - her childhood, her family, her lovers before
her marriage, her ex-husband, her current lover.
