À propos de cet audio

 From the author of the beloved Hum If You Don't Know the Words comes a rich, unforgettable story of three unique women in post-Apartheid South Africa who are brought together in their darkest time and discover the ways that love can transcend the strictest of boundaries.

In a squatter camp on the outskirts of Johannesburg, seventeen-year-old Zodwa lives in desperate poverty, under the shadowy threat of a civil war and a growing AIDS epidemic. Eight months pregnant, Zodwa carefully guards secrets that jeopardize her life.

Across the country, wealthy socialite Ruth appears to have everything her heart desires, but it's what she can't have that leads to her breakdown. Meanwhile, in Zaire, a disgraced former nun, Delilah, grapples with a past that refuses to stay buried. When these personal crises send both middle-aged women back to their rural hometown to heal, the discovery of an abandoned newborn baby upends everything, challenging their lifelong beliefs about race, motherhood, and the power of the past.

As the mystery surrounding the infant grows, the complicated lives of Zodwa, Ruth, and Delilah become inextricably linked. What follows is a mesmerizing look at family and identity that asks: How far will the human heart go to protect itself and the ones it loves?

A terrific story with engaging characters. The audiobook is done with native South African actors and their authentic accents enhance the
experience. I particularly liked how the audiobook chose to use three actresses- one for each of the three main characters. I can’t express how much I enjoyed this book!

A great read/listen!

This book is the type of book that has you thinking about it when you’re not reading/listening to it.
The narration makes it, but it is a book that will leave a lasting impression in my heart forever.
Treat yourself to this book! You won’t be sorry.

Another amazing book by Bianca Marais. Wow.
The story of 3 strong but very human African women facing heartbreaking circumstances. I began this book without pre-reading the story line, and I'm glad I did. Trust the in the author, and just read the book.
The three narrators were incredible too. This is definitely one story that I will listen to again.

Incredible

The story brings together three strong women who have all suffered heartbreak in their lives. Bianca Marais lets us live through the AIDS epidemic and life in South Africa in the 90s with sympathy for those going through the epidemic, as well as with hope for their future. She ties up so many elements of plot by the end. I will recommend this book to book clubs as their is lots of opportunity for discussion—love, loss, sibling rivalry, secrets, and racism. Also, to those who like historical fiction as a way of appreciating history!
