In My Year of Fear and Freedom, Marita van der Vyver reflects on a year of upheaval, loss, and transformation. When the COVID-19 pandemic forces her and her husband to sell their home in France, they embark on a bold, nomadic journey across three continents. Part memoir, part travelogue, this deeply personal narrative explores memory, freedom, and what it means to start over.
Description
When Covid-19 pulled the rug out from under Marita van der Vyver and her Frenchman’s feet and they were forced to sell their old, large house in the French countryside, they decided to get rid of most of their earthly possessions and travel far across the world.
In this journey, which spans three continents, a lifetime of memories from one of Afrikaans’s greatest writers is explored. Sometimes you have to lose a lot, and also be willing to lose yourself, before you can truly gain freedom.
