Description
Chinna de Kock's world has been turned upside down by the rapid evolution of a virus inside her. In response to the catastrophes of climate change, droughts, tsunamis and pandemics, she finds solace in mathematical incantations that allow her to feel, map and assess her way forwards. As she watches documentaries from the past, Chinna becomes enamoured with Jill Purce's vision of vitality through change. Her estranged mother Elektra is riding out the pandemic in Bali, but Chinna's calculations are her only hope for survival. This powerful exploration uncovers the mysteries that bring together East and West, future and past, and mother and daughter. In "Motherborn", Nada Holland takes the reader on a journey into more puzzling terrain, celebrating our emergent and entangled life on earth.
