Kompoun

Cousins Nadia and Xavie grew up on Groenplaas in the Overberg under their grandmother Sylvia McKinney, chief teller of family lies. Looking back, they dig into what was never said, and trace a band of cousins bound by survival in a hard world, who pull away from their elders yet cannot shake off kin.
