A race against time in KwaZulu Natal
Cape Argus
|August 11, 2025
MARINA Auer has established herself as a very competent author - add to that her obvious prowess as a doctor and her love of her native KwaZulu-Natal and the reader has a combo that at times is quite lethal.
Her fast-paced thrillers take in all three, leading the reader on a merry chase! But it is a chase that exposes all the things that are wrong with our systems, that challenge our medical and policing professions, our transport networks, our poor communities, our cultures.
But it does shine a light on the good creating a balance that maybe sometime we miss.
In Three Echoes we meet Dr Sara Buhle, obstetrician juggling her time - requiring almost super human effort-0 private practice, state clinic obligations alongside marriage and some troubling decisions.
