Description:

The Spiral House primarily examines the country’s past, and shows us how little we know about one another and the true consequence of South Africans being either the keeper or the kept. The novel, which is said to become a South African classic, is a remarkably dense read, which tells the parallel stories of the 16-year-old daughter of freed slaves, Katrijn van der Caab, in the Cape during the late 1700s, and an Irish nun, Sister Vergilius, who is based in a mission in the far north of South Africa in 1961.
