Die geskenk is the well-known author Riette Rust’s upsetting, deeply human and sometimes even hilarious true story. From her childhood in the Paarl, and her father hiding his empty whiskey bottles, to her marriage to JD and the morning when Riette found her husband slumped and bloodied on the floor. JD had killed himself with his shotgun. The book is not only a compelling true story but will also be of great value to anyone who has been affected by suicide or has had to deal with grief.
