Skinner's Drift

Skinner's Drift

by Lisa Fugard

'Skinner's Drift' is the profound narrative of Eva van Rensburg, who confronts her turbulent past upon returning to South Africa after a decade. The family farm, Skinner's Drift, by the Limpopo River, is rife with danger and untamed wildlife, mirroring the raw and often violent experiences that define her childhood and her relationship with her tempestuous father. Amidst a nation grappling with its own historical demons, Eva's journey unfolds, weaving domestic intimacy with stark, visceral scenes of a land that embodies the scars of its inhabitants. In this striking debut, Lisa Fugard masterfully delves into the complexities of inheritance and the quest for reconciliation with a past that haunts the present.
