About this ebook
Kronkelpad is die derde boek in die trilogie waarvan Anderkant Pontenilo en Pérsomi die eerste twee is. Die verhaal speel af in die jare 1938–1960, met die slot in 1986.Lettie Louw (Klara se slim vriendin uit Pontenilo en die dokter wat in Pérsomi in die hofsaak getuig) en Marco Romanelli (Antonio se aantreklike broer wat in Italië in ’n Joodse kamp beland het in Pontenilo) is in hierdie boek die hoofkarakters.Lettie se vriendinne raak almal verlief op aantreklike mans en trou die een na die ander – niemand sien vir Lettie raak nie. Maar sy besluit nietemin om die beste dokter vir haar mense te word. Sy gaan in 1947 terug na die Bosveld-dorpie en neem haar pa se praktyk oor.Nadat hy die konsentrasiekamp oorleef het, is Marco ’n baie siek, verswakte man wanneer hy teen die einde van 1945 na sy ouerhuis in Noord-Italië terugkeer. Antonio, wat na Suid-Afrika terugkeer om met Klara Fourie te trou, oorreed hom egter om na Suid-Afrika se warm, droë Bosveld te verhuis. So beland Marco in 1948 op dieselfde Bosvelddorpie as Lettie, wat sy dokter word.Die liefde blom tussen hulle, maar dan breek die polio-epidemie van die jare vyftig uit – met tragiese gevolge.Die trilogie word op boeiende wyse afgesluit dáár waar dit begin het – in die Italiaanse dorpie hoog bo in die Alpe.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I absolutely loved, loved this book. Everything from the location of South Africa to the storyline, and the characters. The author found the magic touch striking the right balance with all of these elements. A treasured read!The story starts out with Marco fleeing with his love and her family. They barely survive to be captured by the Germans. Once freed, Marco is the only one to be alive. He travels to South Africa to be with his brother. In this opening section of the story, I got to meet Marco and start forming a bond with him without the distraction of many other characters. I only say "meet" Marco as I truly got to know him once he met Lettie. He was a true gentleman during the courting stage, a caring husband, great father and brother, and a lover of music. Now, I need to talk about Lettie. She is also kind and a good friend. Yet, she really blossomed when she met Marco. She was a good wife, mother, alright cook, and had a nice laugh. Marco and Lettie forever. If you are in the look out for an amazing read, you need to check out this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lettie Low grew up in South Africa feeling inferior to her girlfriends. She didn’t possess their beauty or their slim figures. She had many crushes on boys but was always overlooked and left heartbroken. Being the daughter of the town’s only doctor, she threw herself into her studies and joined his practice after college. She had given up on new relationships until she met a patient from Italy named Marco Romanelli. Marco Romanelli is plagued with bouts of pneumonia which he acquired during the Nazi occupation of Italy. His brother, Antonio, currently lives in South Africa and believes that a change of climate would help his condition. Marco joins his brother and decides to seek better medical help. Marco crosses paths with Lettie when she takes him as a patient. As she works on improving his health, she quickly realizes that he is also suffering from emotional distress due to the war. These lonely people share many mutual friends and a deep bond starts to develop.This historical fiction novel is set in both Italy and South Africa. This engaging book explores the lives of two people who experience life’s challenges and detours. Some of the characters from this book can be enjoyed in Irma Joubert’s prior novel “Children Of The River”.
