Wanneer haar moeder ernstig ziek wordt, keert Antjie Krog na een jaar afwezigheid terug naar haar geboorteplek in de provincie Vrijstaat. Dieper dan ooit voelt Krog zich verbonden met de vrouw die haar het leven gaf, en met haar wortels. Desondanks lijken moeder en dochter, beide schrijvers, soms als dag en nacht te verschillen. In ontroerende briefwisselingen dagen de twee elkaar uit om hun situatie en leefwereld te begrijpen.

In Blood’s Inner Rhyme, Antjie Krog returns to her Free State roots and to her mother, writer Dot Serfontein. In her nineties, Dot is frail but sharp, and their complex bond unfolds through letters, diary entries and care-home records. This deeply personal book explores creative legacy, generational tension, race, land, love and history. Krog writes with poignancy and power about the push-pull between mother and daughter, the country’s past and present, and the inevitability of ageing and death.
