Die reën kom nie maklik nie | Short Stories & Fiction Anthologies

Ina le Roux

This important collection of stories was first published in 1996 with the title So lief as wat daardie hoender vir ’n skoot is. This reissue includes two new stories. The narrator is Piet Mavhetha, a Venda pastor, who tells with simplicity, humour and pathos about his people, their poverty, hardship and lives in the far north of the country – behind the Soutpansberg. Ina le Roux succeeds admirably in recreating an authentic voice. An enriching experience.
