Klara: Justine Atkinson
At sixteen Klara meets Jannie Swartz, son of a wealthy farmer in the district of the, then, Transvaal, who captivates her, sexually, romantically and emotionally.
She desperately wants him to desire her in the same way, but Jannie is fiercely ambitious, and sacrifices happiness, and health, in his unrelenting pursuit of wealth. Throughout her life Klara finds herself drawn back, again and again, into Jannie's arms, even though he has married another woman. She tries to find solace elsewhere… in work, and in marriage to a man who is the opposite of the ruthless and unscrupulous Jannie, but she is incapable of breaking his hold over her. Does her happiness lie in Jannie's arms, or is she fooling herself that her love will one day be reciprocated?
