This is the Tafelberg edition, published in Cape Town in 2009. It follows a young woman who is waiting and searching, and whose journey takes her through three versions of herself, as three sisters studying at Stellenbosch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer path leads through distant places in South America, India and Africa, and back into her childhood and family past. The story moves through an overdose towards a meeting with a mysterious 'He'. It is a raw, unvarnished novel with a quirky, earthy and unsentimental voice, and a sad, wayward heroine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe novel has also drawn scholarly attention. Hester Carstens examined its liminality and narrative voice in an article in Stilet, the journal of the Afrikaanse Letterkundevereniging. It is a worthwhile copy for collectors of contemporary Afrikaans and Namibian literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Anoeschka von Meck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnoeschka von Meck (born 1967) is a Namibian author who writes in Afrikaans.
