Note for Readers

Reference to ‘race’ is unavoidable in a book such as this. Official terms such as black, coloured, white, Indian and Asian are used.

References to geographical areas in South Africa are tricky due to name changes. The eastern Cape Colony was a region during the nineteenth century. The Eastern Cape is one of the nine provinces created post-1994 and I use this term to refer also to the area during most of the twentieth century pre-1994. Other new names which are used include KwaZulu-Natal (for Natal) and Mpumalanga (for the eastern Transvaal).

For the sake of argument and clarity, Like Family contains several fairly long quotations from novels and other texts, many of which may not be readily available to the reader.

All translations from Afrikaans texts that have not been published in English are my own, unless otherwise indicated, for example, works that Ingrid Winterbach and Eben Venter translated at my request.

The bibliography includes some titles relevant to Soos Familie and Bÿna familie which may be of interest to readers of Like Family.
