Pelgrimshoop
Op Pelgrimshoop, ’n weggesteekte dorpie in die voue van die Laeveld, waar die vlaktes wemel van skaap, gras en die oudste klipformasies in Suid-Afrika, daar vind Hannah de Witt haar voete weer na ’n verbryselende verhouding wat sy agterlaat in Pretoria.
Ongeag die feit dat haar student, Elias Bart, die knorrige boer van Bartelheim, die man wat ‘die ding het met die perde’, aanvanklik nie wil saamwerk met waarvoor hy haar laat kom het nie: Om hom verder te kom leer.
Die legendariese fete tussen Vliet Vorster, sy 4-manbende, en Bart dreig boonop om in ’n volskaalse konflik te ontaard want Vorster haat die ‘bontspul’ op Bartelheim. Vliet Vorster, voorste boer en burgemeester, wat elke Saterdagaand Die Oog leegdrink en Sondag voor in die kerkgestoeltes sit.
Ondanks die dorp se opstand oor Hannah en haar skrywerbroer Abram se teenwoordigheid in die omgewing, die atmosfeer op die plaas wat maar styf is en Hannah se onwillige student groei die waarheid, teerheid en nederigheid – en Hannah leer ’n ander Elias ken.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
