An insightful look into South Africa in the 1930s and 1940s, this novel tells an unlikely love story. When Sofie goes to work for Big Dan-a forester whose wife is terminally ill-she takes care of his neglected children and gains an education while helping them with their homework. After the lady of the house passes away, Big Dan finds himself increasingly drawn to Sofie and her tender yet straightforward ways. Eventually, the two fall in love and marry. Despite her simple background, Sofie manages to draw a deeply complicated family together with wisdom and understanding beyond her upbringing. As Sophie tackles the prejudices of her fellow villagers with veracity and brutal honesty, this tale demonstrates that grace and wisdom are the products of character and not social standing.
