Dalene Matthee
Large Paperback
Name on the front page Toorbos is a forest romance. It is the story of an initiated 'forest woman's' intimate connection to the tree heart of the forest, and how it became a hindrance in her experience of the man she loves. Karoliena Kapp is a single child whose mother had three husbands, and who figures as a truly unsympathetic mother. Her father was killed by a lightning bolt early on, and she accepts the forest as her primordial mother. Karoliena is beautiful; she is spotted early on by a man, John, a forest worker child who has unwound himself from the stranglehold of forest poverty. Even before she is twenty, Karoliena is "married off" to him, and must become a village companion after being schooled to take her place in this hierarchy. The world of the forest and of the village is painted in fine contrast to each other. These are two orders of existence. In the woods, a mystical experience is possible this is the kind of transport Karoliena seeks while the village existence is devoted to a self-directed money quest. She is in love with John much older than her and is half-enthralled by the new prospects he offers her. But Karoliena uses the very first opportunity to walk away from John, straight back to the forest. Because the day after marr"something terribly wrong somewhere, somewhere." She made the wrong choice: she fled from the forest. She exchanged her precious freedom for a chew. Now she's scared. So she takes the road back to the forest, while the pee canary calls non-stop, "who's-you, who's-you".
