Kroniek van Donkerhoek
R36.00
Die roman KRONIEK VAN DONKERHOEK is die verhaal van die Vorsters en hul erfplaas oor meer as twee dekades met die oorgang van apartheid na demokrasie. Inherent goeie mense, wie se sienings en vooroordele onvermydelik tot konflik en uiteindelike ondergang lei.
Die platorand van Mpumalanga met sy deinserige vergesigte, wuiwende grashalms, suisende denne, bosbrande en veediefstal is die agtergrond waarteen vals grondeise en 'n stryd om besitreg lei tot rassetwis en moord. Die patriarg Jaap Vorster kan hom nie versoen nie met die smaad die familie aangedoen deur sy seun Pieter, wat trou met Johanna Dlamini, dogter van die voorman. Gelok deur 'n bosbrand word Jaap vermoor deur die voorman se seun, 'n opgeleide kader.
Pieter neem die bosbouboerdery oor en word onregverdig veroordeel vir die moord op sy vrou se ander broer. Voortvlugtig vir die gereg probeer Pieter sy vrou oortuig van sy onskuld. Knaend op die spoor bly inspekteur Khumalo wat die skandvlek van die ontsnapping wil uitwis en eers in die Appèlhof teenoor die voortvlugtige te staan kom. Die sittings van die Rondgaande Hof te Piet Retief en die Appèlhof in Bloemfontein word met fyn insig uitgebeeld en die strydende regslui met 'n tikkie humor geskets. Die aksievolle spanningsroman het as somber agtergrondmusiek die veelkantige onoplosbare grondkwessie.

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.
