The long journey of Poppie Nongena by Elsa Joubert
Poppie Nongena's contented childhood in the Cape Town countryside came to an end when she married a migrant worker, and was forced by the authorities to move with him and their young family to the unfamiliar and bewildering city of Cape Town. This title celebrates the human capacity for survival and the tenacious spirit that is Poppie.
Throughout Elsa Joubert's prolific career she has been awarded almost every prize for Afrikaans writing. Die Reise van Isobelle was awarded the W A Hofmeyer and Elsa was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Stellenbosch for this magnificent book. She has been recognised internationally for her work, and was awarded the Winifred Holtby Prize by the British Royal Society of Literature, as well as being made a Fellow of the Society for her novel The Long Journey of Poppie Nongena. Poppie has been voted one of the top 100 best books of the 20th century.
