, English Summary
Suné is a girl who is bulimic, hiding her bulimia from her
mother. She is obsessed with losing weight and goes the
extra to lose weight. For her, losing 5 kilograms means
she’ll get into the hockey A-Team, that she’ll win the
eisteddfod, that she’ll pass the ballet exam with flying
colours. It means that Deon will notice her. Suné runs twice
around the school hockey Astro. Her friend Marié notes
that Suné is getting seriously thin, but Suné thinks that her
friend is trying to get her to be as fat as she is.
Marié is completely satisfied with her own plumpness; she
consumes pies, doughnuts and cokes at break times,
scrapes by academically and has a boyfriend who loves her
– she couldn’t possibly understand Suné’s goal. Marié also
lives with a mother who stays at home and is always
manning pots in the kitchen, ready to feed the legion of
teenagers for whom she has provided a home. In contrast,
Suné’s mother is a perfect busybody with awards and not a
single wrinkle or blemish.
When Marié tells Suné that she’ll pick her up to go to the
sokkie, Suné tells her that she has to do her Social Sciences
homework. Suné buckles a little bit from the pain of a stitch
in her side. However, as she tells herself with everything
else, it’s under control. Everything is under control.
