Marita van der Vyver
Medium Paperback
The almanac in the kitchen announces spring, but all Hester Human notices is dust and building debris. A dump, she reproaches Andr , her architect husband. It was his idea, his project for their Year in Provence. The dream turned into a nightmare when her youngest child died just weeks before they left for France.
In the strange, everyone struggles with his own hardships: Emile their thirteen-year-old son melts away into the thick stone walls of the house to be as little trouble as possible for anyone. Andr poured all his energy into the restoration project and disappeared among the bags of cement, loads of floor tiles, screws and nails and boards and pipes.
And Hester? She becomes quieter and more absent-minded, has imaginary conversations with an illegal immigrant from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and strangely resonates with an orphan from Rwanda inadequate replacements for the them she discovers anew her love for Africa.
Quiet Time is the engrossing story of a woman's struggle against incurable grief, of her search for herself, and of the timid, courageous steps back to the heart of her husband.
