Motherland
Penguin 1996 Paperback, 206pp. In Motherland (1996), Astrid Westergaard, returns to Denmark and has a reunion with her Danish relatives. 'As romance flourishes,' writes Janet Wilson in NZ Listener, 'du Fresne brings into suggestive parallel the deeper exploration of Astrid's psyche that love urges with the rediscovery of her roots in Jutland.' 'Interweaving Astrid's story with an underlying enquiry about nationality, and brilliantly controlling the surface elements of mystery and romance, she has written more than a moving and believable story.'. Some tanning. (ISBN: 0140260382). Good.
