Love Child
Love Child: A Novel | Sheila Kohler
1 post | 5 read
An enthralling new novel from the highly acclaimed author of Becoming Jane Eyre The compelling story of a forbidden marriage, a baby lost, and a love triangle gone horribly wrong, Love Child centers on Bill, a South African woman whose life has been defined by the apartheid-era, class-riven society in which she lives. Under pressure to make her will, Bill is forced to think about the momentous events and decisions that have made her an extremely wealthy if somewhat disillusioned woman. To whom should she leave her fortune? As Bill relives her past, we learn that this is a simple question with a complicated answer. In elegant, sensual, and nuanced prose, Kohler skillfully explores the space between our dreams and our reality, between our hopes and our disappointments.

My last read of January was this little, easy read. I enjoyed the flicking between decade/20 year periods and seeing Bill's life unfold and the path that her life took. I love the change in her from a young passive, scared young woman to a liberated lady in control of her own choices. I was quickly transported to another life in South Africa.
