Abstract
Lara Newman (a pseudonym) was born in Johannesburg into a middle-class English-speaking South African family. She was 23 years old with two younger sisters aged 18 and 16 at the time of the interview in 1991. She was married and living in Cape Town with her husband, Brian, and two children — a boy aged five and a girl aged two.
