Cushioned from political reality by the security of Johannesburg's white middle-class social round, she is at first untouched by the sense of mounting tension amongst old friends assisting what remains of the black resistance. This is the period of the Ninety Day law and such activity can be dangerous. When, at the urging of a radical defence lawyer, Matthew Marais, Anne travels to the Eastern Cape to report on political trials in isolated villages, she questions:"to witness and not to protest - was this not to participate?". Compelled by love for Matthew and by a growing sense of commitment, she discovers the meaning of repression and of betrayal in political and human terms.
