About this listen
In Die kwart-voor-sewe-lelie skryf Eleanor Baker met ’n satiriese aanslag en fyn insig oor die wel en wee van ’n stadsgesin wat bestaan uit ’n vergeetagtige ma, ’n gemoedelike pa, Iris en haar twee susters, Elsa en Kara, hul “Hollandse” hond, ’n huishulp wat presies weet wat sy wil hê en ’n buite-aardse beskermengel met ’n aardse humorsin. In die karakters se doen en late sien die leser, met ’n glimlag, baie van hom/haarself. “Ek het jou al vertel van my naam,” sê Iris, die sentrale figuur in hierdie bekoorlike roman,"...ek glo ek sal eendag blom.” Ondanks uitdagende omstandighede slaag sy daarin om ‘n verantwoordelikheidsin te kweek wat hulle posisie as gesin ook geleidelik positief beinvloed. Die wyse waarop sy op haar gesins- en persoonlike uitdagings reageer, help haar om te groei, haar roeping te vind en vrede te maak met haar verlede.
Please note: This audiobook is in Afrikaans.

Stella Bennet van die plaas Ommekeer het drie dogters—en hulle het probleme. Niemand sal Julia glo dat sy in haar huwelik verbaal mishandel word nie. Niemand sal begryp dat Pauli verlief is op die verkeerde man nie. Veral aangesien sy so ’n verstandige man aan haar sy het. Niemand sal ooit weet hoe broos Teresa is nie. Want sy is hierdie hardekwas advokaat wat geen man nodig het nie.

Story
Dit is Simone se annus horribilis. Op vier en veertig stap sy vir die tweede keer uit n huwelik, bankrot, werkloos, moedeloos, verbrysel. Al wat sy het om van vier en veertig jaar te wys, is n bedenklike verlede, n tienerseun wat skaars met haar praat, en die besef van mislukking en ontoereikendheid wat soos n meulsteen om haar nek hang. Al waarheen sy het om te gaan, is die kleinburgerlike dorp op die Oos-Vrystaatse platteland waar sy grootgeword het, waar haar konserwatiewe ma en konvensionele suster haar gedurig aan haar tekortkominge kan herinner. Rock bottom, dis waar sy is.

Kamphoer is die ware verhaal van ’n vrou wat gedurende die Anglo-Boereoorlog wreedaardig verkrag en vir die aasvoëls gegooi is. Met die hulp van ’n reeks weldoeners ontsnap sy aan die kloue van die dood en wy sy uiteindelik haar lewe aan die genesing van presies die soort trauma waaraan sy onderworpe was. En in die proses word sy teruggestamp in ’n bomkrater wat sy geglo het lank reeds toegegroei het en veilig bedek was. In Kamphoer word die weerbarstigheid van die menslike gees opgeweeg teen die ewe blywende invloed van trauma.

And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs.

Baie vervelig.
Would you ever listen to anything by Eleanor Baker again?
Dalkas iemand anders dit lees.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Margot Luyt?
No
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Kwart-voor-sewe-lelie?
Haar fantasiee is vervelig.
Any additional comments?
Daar was geen opgewonde oomblik in die hele boekhou nie.

Really not worth listening to
Firstly the narrator's voice was extremely monotonous to listen to. I have listened to many books, really enjoyed them, but this was really not my scene. I couldn't listen to it for long periods.
Secondly, the story was too drawn out and the end, uninteresting. What a pity Iris didn't pursue her modeling career, it would have brought her out of her "drab" existence. Thanks anyway
