Dandelions & Crystal Grasshopper Jars Merlaine Hemstraat

Dandelions & Crystal Grasshopper Jars is an endearing but poignant portrait, of a family struggling with the issues of their children coming of age. Personal battles with self-acceptance, favouritism, betrayal and fidelity beguile the entire dynasty. Inspired by a true story, the novel stimulates as it reaches into the heart and soul, of every reader, vividly recapturing their memories. With snapshot precision, the summer of 1968 commences the saga while enchanting its audience, weaving and twisting into 1978, encapsulating the progeny's ten-year period. With every passage, the Mendelsohn clan entertains, incites, saddens and powerfully draws readers into the compelling labyrinth of their lives. Faced with gut-wrenching challenges, will their sense of duty outweigh their familial love and integrity or wedge them further apart?
