'Fascinating and engrossing' Literary Review
 
How did South Africa turn out the way it did? In Moederland — 'Motherland', in Afrikaans — Cato Pedder takes us on an eye—opening journey across four centuries, tracing the country's turbulent past and the rise and fall of apartheid (and her family's charged legacy) through the lives of nine very different women. This brilliant and unflinching work of history begins with the arrival of the first Dutch ships and ends with South Africa's first free elections in 1994.
