In this deeply moving memoir, Marguerite van Ginkel traces her mother Louise's life from a harsh childhood in the remote Kalahari to decades of love, loss, and quiet resilience.
Through unflinching honesty and gentle reflection, Bequeath reveals the inner world of a woman who transformed early trauma into strength, navigating South Africa's complex history as a teacher while building a life rooted in kindness and wisdom.
Rich with contradiction, humour, and profound insights on aging, forgiveness, and mortality, this intimate portrait explores what it means to live with grace and find beauty in both the ordinary and overlooked.
More than a memoir, Bequeath is a meditation on memory, legacy, and the stories that shape us a gift for anyone seeking to understand where they come from and how we learn to keep walking, even when the path is difficult.
"To live with grace is to survive the unimaginable and to keep walking, even when the path is strewn with silence, sorrow, and sunlight."
