    About this ebook

    In This is not a flowerpot, author Amy Schoeman with keen observation and an enduring sense of irony chronicles Lizelle s journey from being a woman with no clear idea of what she wants to one who chooses personal freedom and control over her life. Sometimes shocking, often funny, this wry account of an imprudent marriage is abidingly entertaining. Above all it carries the torch for the abused woman.
