Life is like that sometimes draws readers into the unforgettable personal experiences that have shaped Khaya Dlanga’s world. Weaving heartfelt and often hilarious tales, from his rural Eastern Cape childhood to the profound losses he has faced as an adult, Khaya reflects on life’s unpredictability with warmth and wit. The vivid stories explore love, loss, loyalty, forgiveness, tradition, chance, mischief, justice, responsibility and resilience, offering insights on relationships, identity and the lessons found in life’s toughest moments. Both deeply moving and laugh-out-loud funny, Life is like that sometimes is an exploration of personal growth, faith and the power of storytelling to find meaning in it all.
A breathtakingly candid memoir by Joanna "JoJo" Levesque, the
chart-topping, multi-platinum recording artist behind hits like 'Leave
(Get Out),' 'Too Little, Too Late', and the Grammy Award-winning 'Say
So'.
Brief Hours and Weeks is the author's account of growing up in a small, tightly knit, first-generation Polish-Jewish community in Cape Town in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. Observing through at first naive and then later more sophisticated eyes, he describes his childhood and youth in a protective off-the-boat immigrant Jewish family in very British-Commonwealth South Africa as apartheid becomes increasingly coercive. Through vivid and candid personal stories, he brings to life a time, place, culture, people, and set of mores that no longer exist. At 21, he leaves Africa to study in America.
Mac Maharaj played a pivotal role in the liberation movement for nearly four decades, suffering brutal tortures and twelve years’ imprisonment on Robben Island with Nelson Mandela. It was Maharaj who smuggled out the manuscript of Mandela’s autobiography and later re-entered South Africa to establish a political and military underground on a mission so secret that only those at the highest levels were even aware of its existence. Drawing from extensive interviews with Maharaj over eleven years and hitherto unavailable documents, Padraig O’Malley vividly renders a true tale of heroism and a gripping insider’s look at the struggle for freedom in South Africa. |
