Synopsis:
Riding onto the soft, mature voice of Luna van Wyk we are dropped into the world of her older sister, Mignon “Mossie” van Wyk.
An older Luna, whose voice we only ever hear, takes us back to her youth days specifically her sister, Mossie’s, final year at school. Mossie, the name given to Mignon by her close friend Adriaan when they were still only children, means little sparrow in Afrikaans.
Mossie is a traveller at heart who dreams of seeing the world. She longs for unconditional love and to be held tightly, like a little bird, when life knocks her down.
