Offerlam (Deel 1 van die Offer-tweeluik)
Share
Die Kongo, 1961: ʼn Man word koelbloedig vermoor en sy geliefde word vir dood agtergelaat.
Drie en vyftig jaar later kry Caz Colijn ʼn oproep wat haar kluisenaarsbestaan uit mekaar ruk.
In België waar sy haar en haar dogter se herkoms probeer naspoor, word dit duidelik dat dié land se koloniale verlede net so ʼn groot impak op haar lewe gehad het soos die apartheidsjare in Suid-Afrika.
Die oproep wat professor Luc DeReu ontvang, is minder traumaties. Ook hy word egter uit sy wentelbaan geruk toe die vrou wat hy kwalik neem oor sy pa se voortydige dood, weer sy jandooilewe betree.
Intussen moet Erevu en sy kleinseun die nkísi wat hulle meer as vyf dekades gelede ontneem is, opspoor om hulle heilige taak uit te voer.
Wanneer hierdie groepie mense se paaie kruis, stuur dit nogmaals op moord af.
Offerlam is die eerste boek in ’n tweeluik en word opgevolg deur Offerande.

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.
