The Afrikaans easy read Die dekonstruksie van Retta Blom (Kwela) recently made its film debut. Lauretta Blom, mother, wife and friend of many, is regarded as someone who colours between the lines. However, it is when she begins to question her beige existence that she discovers who she really is. 

Come listen to the author, Zelda Bezuidenhout, actress, Antoinette Louw, and screenwriter, Henriëtta Gryffenberg, in Oude Leeskamer’s gallery, as we unpack the delicate translation of Bezuidenhout’s novel from page to screen.
