Overview
Hannah Harrison escapes her stalled life in Cape Town for a fresh start, working in a small-town bookshop in the picturesque Free State. In a dusty box of old books she discovers a journal: an account of life in a concentration camp written by Rachel Badenhorst, a girl separated from her family in the South African War. Captivated by the girl's courage and endurance, Hannah is compelled to uncover what happened to Rachel. But she doesn't foresee that her interest will stir up the more recent grief of local farmer Alistair Barlow, and older losses that carry on the air and lie hidden in the ground. Clare Houston's An Unquiet Place unearths a counterweight to sadness: that love and kindness can bolster our resilience as we look for ways to soothe the past.
