RETHABILE: The Thorns Under Her Feet - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

RETHABILE: The Thorns Under Her Feet is a literary crime thriller set in contemporary South
Africa. The novel follows Rethabile Mokoena, a mother whose son, Tokollo, is arrested after a
fatal stabbing in a township alley.
As media hysteria, community judgment, and the justice system close in, Rethabile is forced to
relive years of domestic violence, silence, and survival. The courtroom becomes a site not only
of legal scrutiny but of moral interrogation, where motherhood itself is placed on trial.
Blending psychological depth with procedural tension, RETHABILE interrogates intent versus
survival, the violence of institutions, and the stories societies tell to simplify harm. The novel
refuses easy resolutions, choosing witness over closure and humanity over narrative
convenience.
