Hierdie publikasie van Marita van der Vyver is ʼn wydstromende rivier van ʼn roman, ʼn boek wat die leser onderdompel en omrol en maal in sy kolke van stemme en geskiedenis en oeroue hunkerings. Die verhaal word vertel vanuit die perspektief van drie opeenvolgende generasies – drie vroue wat reageer op mekaar en hul tyd. Hulle lewe in spanning, tussen weggaan en moet bly, en tussen vergeet en móét onthou, omdat onthou die enigste skakel is wat hulle nog met die oerbron van hul bestaan verbind.
