This is a witty love-story with a difference! Fanie Fourie is a true blue ‘boere seun’ from a conservative Afrikaans community with an unrepentantly macho approach to love and life in general. But his worldview undergoes an abrupt reinvention when he is ‘bitten by the louse and bedbug of love’ and falls head-over-heels for Dimakatjo Machabaphala, a beautiful black nurse. In pursuit of true love the lovers must steer a path through the challenging intricacies of inter-cultural negotiation and leap the hurdles of racial bigotry, tenacious former lovers and the like; finally to emerge triumphant as traditionally united man and wife. The novel tells of the development of their love affair and their determination to press through the trials and tribulations of unfamiliar cultural territory and have their traditional wedding.
