Die jare 1894 tot 1994 is vir die Afrikaner ’n tydperk van grootse maar veral pynlike gebeure. ’n Gewone Suid-Afrikaanse familie beleef in hierdie roman die Anglo-Boereoorlog, die Eerste Wêreldoorlog, die 1914-Rebellie, 1918 se tragiese Groot Griep en 1938 se besielende Voortrekkereeufees, die Tweede Wêreldoorlog se gruwels, die 1948-verkiesing wat tot apartheid se hoogbloei lei, en die tagtigerjare se opstande.

In many areas of the southern United States, the South, any plant with thorns is referred to as a stickabriar. The blackberry vine is one such plant. Many aspects of life, such as the under belly of the streets, is also a barb-laden place. The blackberry plant can produce very sweet, succulent fruit, while also having some of the most bitter, almost vengeful, tasting berries. It seems the stickabriar will protect its sweetest offering with strong, thorn-laced tentacles. This needled defense is...
