Intricacy is a delicate investigation of the lives of the author's
mother, the activist, mystic and painter Lesley, who was married to
the novelist Jack Cope, and the characters surrounding her. It
looks at South African political, literary, and artistic events and
personalities of the fifties and sixties through the eyes of a
left-wing, bohemian family and delves into the colonial roots of
their presence, tracing their attempts to live creative lives
through the darkest years of apartheid. In doing so, it probes at
themes of memory, mortality, loss and longing. A collection of
stories and memories framed by one extraordinary but ordinary life,
Intricacy is a memoir, a novel and an essay on what it means to
remember, to be remembered, and to find oneself in a lineage.
