Summary
Van der Vyver, a Capetonian writer, married a Frenchman and moved to the south of France. She continues to write her novels there in her home language, therefore valuing her one or two trips a year back to South Africa.… But her enjoyment of her adopted home - though its bureaucracy can bring tears - shines through, even as she describes renovations, strikes, and the quest for food colouring. 2006.
