Produktbeschreibung
Nelie, a pragmatic and strong young women in a traditional Afrikaner family, is caught up in the merciless Anglo Boer War of 1899 - 1902. All she has ever wanted was a home built on traditions with the man she loves, but war changed her youthful desires into a quest for survival from harm and untold suffering inflicted by foreign soldiers. Fate, the true invader, stepped in to determine that she falls in love with one of them - a love seemingly doomed from the start in a society grown weary in the hotbedof resentment towards the invading English. Nelie knows that she must break free from loving the kind foreigner whose values are in stark contrast to those she holds dear. Should she choose her new-found love, she must avoid capture. And when guns eventually fall silent, having made this choice, she would have to endure her people's scorn. As Nelie tries to avoid capture and make sense of a forbidden love, her youth and inexperience carry her into the world of an outcast and traitor. To regain everything she values, Nelie risks losing love - a sacrifice which may not be enough to lead her to a place of peace, contentment and acceptance.
