#2 in the Matthee canon

While none of her other works (pending a translation of Pieternella van die Kaap) comes up to Circles in a Forest, this is my nomineee for Dalene Matthee's #2 work. The subject matter is more contemporary than Circles - yet it has the same gentle insights into the human being. Dalene Matthee died two days ago. What a loss. What a great writer.
