Breathing In
On a dark and stormy night during the last bitter days of the Second Anglo-Boer War, a seriously wounded Boer General is nursed by Anna, a herbalist of considerable powers. Her seductive, otherworldly but bloodless daughter, Annie, is also fighting for survival but needs a lot more than her mother’s concoctions and care to keep going. The General’s faithful and courageous Adjutant, accustomed to the battlefield and the rigors of war now faces a terrible choice and a new unspeakable peril. In a world where men devastate lives and landscapes in the name of patriotism, women have to use subtler and more mysterious means to survive.
