Description
My Year of Fear and Freedom by Marita van der Vyver is a memoir about upheaval, letting go and finding freedom in unexpected circumstances. When Covid-19 forces van der Vyver and her French husband to sell their old home in the French countryside, they decide to part with most of their possessions and embark on a journey across three continents.
As she travels, van der Vyver reflects on a lifetime of memories, relationships and experiences, weaving the physical journey together with a more personal process of letting go. It is a thoughtful account of loss, change and the freedom that can come when familiar lives and possessions are left behind.
