Description
Born and raised on a remote farm in South Africa, Elisabeth Pieterse, a young, naive trainee nurse meets Dion Du Toit, a wickedly handsome salesman whose suave exterior hides a monster within that she discovers only after their wedding.
His addictions, adultery and insatiable desire to be in the limelight turn their lives into a roller coaster of erotic highs and death-defying lows leaving leading psychiatrists confused and Elizabeth shattered.
She knows instinctively that if she wants to stay alive it is safe to remain with him.
Finally, in a courageous but ill-advised attempt to quickly resolve her company's financial problems, caused by Dion, Elizabeth then fails to answer the one telephone call that would have changed the course of the life forever.
Advance Praise
"Once I got into this book I couldn't put it down. The story follows the life of young and innocent trainee nurse, Elizabeth Pieterse, as she is seduced into marriage by a man called Dion Du Toit. A true wolf in sheep's clothing. I was left reeling at some points on Elizabeth's journey. Flummoxed as to why she made the decision she did. And if I hadn't known from the start that her story was real I would have called the whole thing out as a crazy stretch of Diana K Robinson's imagination. But Elizabeth's story is real. And Robinson transports the reader to a rural South Africa that is as rich in its splendour and beauty as it is in the harsh reality of a relationship filled with domestic abuse and violence. Hey Netflix... this would make a great film!
Young, naïve Elizabeth is pulled into a relationship with smooth-talking, suave, Dion Du Toit, which opens up her world to a life full of chilling events.
Rachel Savage
Who Are You? Is a story based in South Africa, around the life of Elizabeth, as she learns the scary reality of living with a psychopath. Although the book rotates around Elizabeth and Dion’s relationship, the author beautifully immerses the reader into the South African landscape and culture; but don't be afraid to pick up this book if you think it will talk in languages or reference things you don’t know about, Diana Robinson does a superb job of explaining every slang that appears.
I found myself awfully frustrated with poor Elizabeth at times, which just proves the things we do for love. Elizabeth's story is so incredible, even more so because it is based on truth, and I couldn’t help the frightening shiver that ran up my spine when I finished the book. No spoilers here! But the ending had me literally shaking my head, goose bumps rising along my arms.
