Résumé
Boekevat and a Candle for Andries KunzBy Ben KunzSome stories are written in blood, others in silence - and a few are passed down through generations until someone dares to bring them home. Andries Kunz was a young South African Boer raised on the rugged plains of Elandsfontein, a farm in the Eastern Transvaal, that shaped the hearts of brothers and a sister and sowed the seeds of legacy. But love, pride, and doubt cast shadows on his life when the paternity of baby Louise - born to Anna, his wife - was questioned.
In anguish and disillusionment, Andries left his homeland and fatefully signed a contract with King George to fight in a war far from South Africa. a war that would claim his life on Italian soil. First he was MIA after Tobruk. Then the Red Cross found him as a POW in a camp north of Rome. He and three friends escaped from a train moving them north as the Allied forces moved towards Rome in 1943, but was killed by German soldiers.
The Kunz famaly recieved a letter and a photograph of his grave. Decades later, in 1996, Ben Kunz, son of Andries' brother Jan, discovers a faded photograph of the forgotten grave in Italy. Driven by longing and the need to heal a family wound never spoken of, Ben embarks on a journey across time and the Department of Defence in SA's archive- not just to find Andries' final resting place, but to bring peace to a father haunted by the loss of a brother and the silence that followed.
With his wife Wilna, and his parents Jan and Hettie, Ben travels to Rome. At the foot of a new tombstone in the Commonwealth War Cemetry in Rome, beneath the Roman sun, a broken circle is finally made whole. A deeply personal tale of war, love, betrayal, and reconciliation, Boekevat and a Candle for Andries Kunz is more than a historical novel - it is a true South African family saga that spans nearly a century, reminding us that memory is sometimes a battlefield, and closure a quiet kind of victory, even in death.
