Volgens PG du Plessis het Pirow Bekker ʼn “benydenswaardig-heldere pen”. In hierdie, Bekker se 23ste publikasie sedert 1965, word die leser meegevoer deur sy herinneringsreise na plekke van herkoms en vroeëre verblyf, sowel as die verlede in sy eie gedagtes. Daar is juwele in hierdie teks.

’n Belangrike bydrae van die boek is die beligting van demensie en Alzheimer. Beurtelinge se stralende eerlikheid maak dit ʼn waardevolle werk.

Emma Bekker se debuutpundel Skryn (poësie) is goed ontvang en die eerste druk het uitverkoop. Hierdie bundel kortverhale getuig van dieselfde fyn waarneming, musikaliteit, verbeeldingrykeid en sensualiteit. Dit gaan hier oor struktuur, oor lae van betekenis en gevoel, oor die skelette van stories wat met vel oorgetrek word. Die verhale is soms donker, soms humoristies, altyd vreesloos en eroties gelaai. Die onderwerpe strek van ’n porn-ster se hartseer oor sy ma se dood tot ’n uitbundige relaas van ’n skoolkonsert.

Ek het ‘n Engel gesien is stories wat skrywer en raak prater Amore Bekker ontvang het as voormalige RSG-aanbieder nadat sy luisteraars gevra het om hul ontmoetings met en geletedeel. “Die terugvoering was oorweldigend,” sê sy. “En met elke storie was die versoek, ‘Sit dit vir ons in ‘n boek, asseblief’.”

Dié boek is gevul met diep menslike ervarings van hoogs geestelike wesens vanuit elke uithoek van ons land...Van gevaarlike paaie en traumatiese ongelukstonele tot pediatriese sale en intensie sorgeenhede ... Van die verpletterde ma wat langs haar dogter se ongelukstoneel gehelp is deur drie onsigbare vroue in hoëhakskoene en die wanhopige pasiënt wie se oorlede ouma ‘n leerskare engele na haar bed toe gelei het tot die geheimsinnige vertroosting van 'n wit veer op ‘n tafel in 'n industriële gebied sonder bome of voëls.

Rakende hier die sonderlinge versameling, haal Amore ‘n wyse man aan: “Dit wat ons kantel, tel glad nie; dit wat ons nie kantel nie, is al wat tel.”

Die verhale in Ek het ‘n Engel gesien gaan inderdaad oor die onsigbare en ontelbare wat elke leser sal verstom en inspireer.

Het Heiberg. Die weggooikind wat Verlangekraal se naam sou verewig. Sy het dit gewaag om in opstand te kom teen ’n rigiede skoolsisteem wat geen rebelsheid of individualiteit sou duld nie. Net meneer Doep het tussen haar en die verderflike skoolhoof meneer Erlank gestaan.
