In hierdie episode van Pagecast is Mia Spies in gesprek met Marita van der Vyver oor haar nuutste boek, My jaar van vrees en vryheid.

Marita van der Vyver is een van die mees geliefde skrywers in Afrikaans en is bekend vir haar romans en kinderboeke wat lesers al oor dekades heen betower.

Mia Spies is ’n gerekende multimedia joernalis en TV-aanbieder, wat bekend is vir haar deeglike storievertelling en insiggewende onderhoude.

Meer oor die boek:
My jaar van vrees en vryheid is Marita se eerlike, roerende en soms skerp-humoristiese verkenning van ’n sprongjaar in haar lewe — ’n tydperk waarin sy van veiligheid en sekerheid na vrees en onsekerheid beweeg het. Terwyl sy deur haar herinneringe reis, ontgin sy ’n leeftyd van belewenisse, verlange, liefde, verlies, groei en die soeke na sin in ’n wêreld wat voortdurend verander.

Die boek verweef persoonlike vertelling met fyn waarneming: van die daaglikse ritme van haar lewe in Frankryk, tot drome van Suid-Afrika en die mense en plekke wat haar gevorm het. Dit is ’n verhaal oor vrees — maar ook oor bevryding, aanvaarding en die moed om weer te begin.

Sluit aan by Marita en Mia vir ’n warm, diepsinnige en verhelderende gesprek oor skryf, identiteit, herinnering en die krag van verhaal.
