Undisciplined Heart: When Jane Katjavivi becomes involved in London in support of change in
Southern Africa, she meets and marries a Namibian activist in exile. Moving
with him to Namibia at the time of Independence in 1990, she faces a new life
in a starkly beautiful country.
She starts to publish Namibian writing
and opens a bookshop. In Windhoek she develops friendships with a group of
strong, independent women, who have also come from other countries, and are
engaged in different ways to overcome the divisions of the past. Over coffee,
drinks and food, they support each other through times of happiness and
sadness, through juggling careers and family, and through illness and death.
When her husband is made Ambassador to
the Benelux countries and the European Union, and later Berlin, Jane has to
build a new identity as the wife of an ambassador, and come to terms with her
own ill-health without her friends around her to support her.
