About this listen

Hierdie aangrypende roman oor ’n ongeletterde Nama-vrou van die Richtersveld speel af in die 1950’s. Katryn Jonis word van moord aangekla, maar sy kom agter die pro deo advokaat glo nie in haar onskuld nie en besluit dan om haar eie verdediging in die hof te behartig. Die vindingryke en berekende wyse waarop die reguit en passievolle Katryn die waarheid uit die staat se getuies in die hof trek, boei die leser deurgaans. Daar is baie vrae: Wie het dan die moord gepleeg, en hoekom? Hoekom het Abraham Klink en sy familie die Jonis-familie deur die jare so getreiter? Want waar Katryn en Salmon ook al geboer en gewoon het op die walle van die Grootrivier - by Kortdoorn, by Grootderm - daar het die Klinke hulle op ’n slinkse manier skade berokken. Totdat Katryn op ’n dag gedryf word tot optrede met ’n vreeslike nadraai. Omring deur vyandige getuies veg sy vir haar lewe in ’n hof in Kaapstad.

Katryn, Vrou van die Richtersveld is a gripping story about an illiterate tare Nama woman who takes on the judicial system by herself, losing faith in her pro deo lawyer after Katryn was accused of murder of the son of her arch enemy, Abraham Klink – a family who has terrorised the Jonis family for years.

Chapter by chapter, untold secrets are revealed but it's also a stunningly delicate and nuanced novel, As the narrative continues the characters become progressively three-dimensional. Huisamen writes a novel that will hold you spellbound where the chain of events becomes a cohesive narrative. If you're looking for a novel that pulls you in and takes hold of your imagination until the very end, you've found it.

Johan Nel's narration brings the characters to life beautifully. The emotions of all the characters are captured tenderly. He tells the story of Katryn’s journey with sensitivity, grace, and authenticity.
