She has to adapt and make a home for her baby daughter and aging husband amidst boreholes, long drops and Aga stoves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe comes to terms with her neighbours, Joshua, a practising Sangoma, and Ben, a Jewish pig farmer; is educated in the ways of the Practical by her indomitable maid May; and comes of age through her determined efforts to create things of beauty amidst the khakibos - a lawn and poetry.
