It sounds interesting and it has all the Afrikaans words explained in footnotes.
I nominate: Recipes for Love and Murder: A Tannie Maria Mystery by Sally Andrew. I've read this book already, but it was so enjoyable, I just want to share it with everybody!!

by Joanne MacgregorIt sounds awesome and I have read a book by Joanne before and loved it! - Will host

I loved The Angina Monologues by the same author, great sense of humour and very South African.
Copying my comment from the other thread here (I hope I'm doing this correctly) I nominate Whiplash, by Tracey Farren. Whiplash
Tess, the film from the book, premieres at The Durban Film Festival on 20 June (I think that's the date) and will premiere in Cape Town and Joburg after that. Brilliant SA read, soon to be hitting the international film festival circuit. I'm not sure how to host but if someone points me in the right direction, I can give it a go. I must add, though, that I was Tracey's editor - not sure if that disqualifies me?

Lu, if it's OK with you, I'll then nominate it formally. I'm happy to discover a new SA author.

Yes, I thought it might! But great that Whiplash has now become Tess. :)
