Beschrijving boek
Small Circle of Beings is set in a house far out of town, at the end of a dust road that rises up into the mountains. The desperate bondage of family life is revealed to a mother as she sits at her son`s bedside where he lies sick, perhaps dying. Galgut`s understated prose unpicks the emotional paradoxes of domesticity with a surprising, surreal twist. In a world where some of the most intimate relationships are those between strangers, Small Circle of Beings describes how children must learn to pull away from their parents if they are to find their own way.
