Description
Crooked Seeds by Karen Jennings In a Cape Town where water is rationed and has to be collected from trucks each day, Deidre lives from day to day in squalor. She borrows, persuades, and cadges her way through life, testing the tolerance and pity of everyone she knows. A chance encounter with the police sets off a chain of events that forces Deidre to confront the truth about her past and her family's history. The discovery at her childhood home reveals a shocking secret about her older brother, her parents' golden boy, and her own identity as a victim.
