Summary: A letter bearing news of boyhood friend Karl Udengaard's death sets Maximilian Fritz on a path of disconcerting reminiscences on his last day as editor of a community newspaper.Growing up as the son of a petrol-station owner in a Lowveld town, twelve-year-old Max is bashed around and bullied - until the arrival of Karl Udengaard. Karl teaches Max how to toughen up, while Max's feelings for Gunna Udengaard, Karl's enigmatic mother, rage in secret.Tragedy severs Max's ties with the wealthy Udengaards. As the decades-old memories unravel, he begins to comprehend his own complicity in his and their misfortunes.Due South of Copenhagen is a masterful tale of the scope of intimate connections between people, small-town living during the height of South Africa's Border War, and what it takes to put the past to rest.
