Kronkelpad
Share
’n Deernisvolle roman oor die kronkelpaaie van die lewe en die liefde. Dit is die derde boek in die trilogie waarvan Anderkant Pontenilo en Pérsomi die eerste twee is. Lettie se vriendinne trou die een ná die ander, maar niemand sien haar raak nie. Sy voltooi haar mediese studies en gaan in 1947 terug na haar tuisdorp in die Bosveld en neem haar pa se praktyk oor. Nadat hy die konsentrasiekamp oorleef het, is Marco Romanelli ’n baie siek, verswakte man wanneer hy teen die einde van 1945 na sy ouerhuis in Noord-Italië terugkeer. Sy broer, Antonio, wat na Suid-Afrika terugkom om met Klara Fourie te trou, oorreed hom om na die warm, droë Bosveld te verhuis. So beland Marco in 1948 op dieselfde Bosvelddorpie as Lettie, wat sy dokter word. Die liefde blom tussen hulle, maar dan breek die polio-epidemie van die jare vyftig uit – met tragiese gevolge. Die trilogie word op boeiende wyse afgesluit dáár waar dit begin het – in ’n Italiaanse dorpie hoog bo in die Alpe.

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.
