Three Carrots: Sue Oosthuizen Reviews Trespass, The Writing Circle and The Griqua’s Apprentice

TrespassThe Writing CircleThe Griqua's ApprenticeVerdict: a triple carrot feast for three BOOK SA members

Cross the searing emotional wrench of Pauline Smith with Kazuo Ishiguro’s Remains of the Day, and you’re more or less in the 1950s Cape Town that writer and medical doctor – Garisch, has created for the middle-aged Phyllis.

Her life ruined by a family from hell who horribly mishandled her falling pregnant at the age of 16, Phyllis, like Ishiguro’s butler, has submerged herself in a life of service.
