Great story, poor editing

Narrator's voice, intonation and storytelling were perfect, but pronounciation of a lot of words incorrect! Editing was POORLY done. First time I experienced that mistakes and reruns were included in the final submission. Please do something about it. Loved the story and the writer's books. And would love more of her books in Afrikaans, the original language. Thanks.

Ure se genot

Ag, ek sit aan die verre Weste in Kalifornie. Het die reeks nou so terdee geniet. So lekker om die karakters weer en weer te ontmoet deur die jare. En die lewe is so né, jy is die hoofkarakter in Jou storie, maar ‘n bykarakter in almal anders s’n. Dit was nou n “treat” en ek is dankbaar jy het stories in Jou om te vertel!

Loved it!

I experienced these times in my youth and it reminded me so much of the turbulences before and after the Soweto Riots.

It’s sad that many South Africans still classify white South Africans as racist while the older generation are mostly the rebels of these times.

I would recommend this to young South Africans to understand the other side of the fight against Apartheid!

The best Afrikaans Audiobook

Fantastic!! Gripping and insightful.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Excellent use of the Afrikaans language!!

storyline

liked the dualistic description of events in Poland and South- Africa. Also the underlying theme of politics being descrbed from all sides

Goeie boek

Het die boek baie geniet. Carla Smith se voorlesing was uitstekend. Storie is boeiend. Beveel aan!

Ongelooflike verhaal

Irma Joubert het weereens die mense laat lewe wat uit haar pen kom! Carla Smith wat die voorlesing doen het die erenstige verhaal soos ń pro vertolk!

Hard-op-lag-snaaks!

This true Afrikaans novel was skillfully knit into amazing characters, that bound me to the end. Loved the narrator often made me giggled due to own afrikaans memories!.
History and life in Afrikaans-LOVED IT ! IN ONS TAAL n JA!

Geskiedenis

Van vervloee Dae word die laser weer bewus gemsak enonthou met hoeveel deursetting dear aangepas is.Baie good om weer te bewonder

Good story but terrible editing and narration

I was looking forward to the last book in this trilogy, and had to develop a great deal of patience and endurance to be entertained by an extremely immature and childish main character. It comes across that the writer relied mostly on historical political South African issues and that the main character was a secondary role player in this last book of the trilogy series.

I was disappointed by the low quality of the editing of this audiobook. Many lines were repeated and this caused a disruption in the flow of the listening quality Im used to.
The sniffing by the narrator could at least been edited out if nothing else.
It is also clear that the continuity of the narrator’s voice was not taken into consideration and I question if the writer or publishers bothered to listen to the audio recording before releasing it on Audible.

It was a wasted credit and I should have rather read the hard copy of this book, but might not have finished it in anyway.
I am confused if this book was written for children, young adults or a mature audience?

Not the quality expected from an Irma Joubert book.
