Description
*Donkermaan* deur André P. Brink vertel die verhaal van Ruben Olivier, 'n bejaarde wewenaar wat vasgevang is in sy herinneringe en sy groot Victoriaanse huis. Na sy vrou, Riana, se dood en sy afdanking by die biblioteek, leef Ruben 'n eensame bestaan, slegs versorg deur sy huishoudster, Magrieta. Sy seuns dwing hom om 'n loseerder te kry, en dit lei tot die onverwagte verskyning van Tessa, 'n jong, onkonvensionele vrou. Hulle gesprekke ontbloot Ruben se verlede, sy verliese, en sy worsteling met eensaamheid en ouderdom, terwyl Tessa se eie tragiese geskiedenis en onverskrokke houding 'n nuwe dinamika in sy lewe bring. Die roman verken temas van geheue, verlies, menslike verbintenis en die soeke na betekenis.
