The Deconstruction of Retta Blom
8.4
Retta Blom has the perfect life. Or so it seems. A loving husband, a son, her beloved dog and a dream house in a leafy Johannesburg suburb. When her perfectionist eye spots a tiny crack in the varnish of her flawless life, doubt seeps in. She starts investigating. Perhaps her husband, Tobias, isn’t all he pretends to be. Has he been hiding a dark secret from her all these years? When she joins her madcap friend Leigh on a road trip to Cape Town, the puzzle pieces start falling into place one by one. And with each new piece, Retta falls apart a little more.
