Description
Notes on Falling by Bronwyn Law-Viljoen is an evocative literary novel that weaves together art, history, memory, and identity across two continents and several decades.
Set between 1970s New York and 1990s South Africa, the novel follows three interconnected lives. Thalia travels to New York to study photography while searching for clues about her past. Robert, an aspiring photographer, immerses himself in the city’s dynamic artistic scene as he strives to create meaningful work. Meanwhile, Paige pursues her dream of becoming a ballet dancer, only to find her life transformed by unexpected events. As their stories gradually converge, hidden connections emerge through photographs, personal histories, and the enduring influence of art.
Thoughtful and beautifully written, Notes on Falling explores the relationship between creativity and memory, and how individual lives are shaped by both personal experience and the wider currents of history.
