After numerous near hits, Jamaicans had become desensitized to hurricanes and as Gilbert approached, the author was not alone in that sea of denial. Unlike other hurricanes, Gilbert signaled its intent from its inception, and it did not alter course, but strengthened dramatically, as it headed straight for Jamaica. The book describes the chaotic rush for supplies, the suspension of normal daily activities, media coverage, the desertion of cities and favorite hangouts, and more wrenching; a supernatural encounter that served to confirm the worst. It depicts split-second scenes of environmental transformation and thrill, even in disaster. There was that intermittent hope of survival that had to be altered as often as the house absorbed successive, vicious jolts. There were the sounds that could not be analyzed, but some of which were even hauntingly melodious. Never to be forgotten were those feelings of loneliness and isolation, the looks of fear and the signs of sinners praying, presumably from the heart. Gratitude for survival could not outweigh the feelings of anger and dejection at the monumental loss.

Wenner - Maskew Miller Longman 2014 Letterkundeprys. BFF deur Cecilia du Toit is die Afrikaanse wenner van Maskew Miller Longman se Letterkunde-kompetisie in 2014. Dis 'n heerlike eietydse drama oor vier vriendinne wat desperaat op soek is na metgeselle vir die Graad 11 bal, en nie juis soos BFF (Best Friends Forever) teenoor mekaar optree nie. Een van die vier besluit om vir die ander 'n les in lojaliteit te leer, en span 'n Facebook-hartebreker in om haar plan deur te voer. Die toneelstuk verwys tong-in-die-kies na die mite van Pygmalion wat vir homself 'n vrou skep, en na Frankenstein wat 'n monster maak om sy wraakplanne uit te voer. Deon Opperman, bekende dramaturg en vanjaar beoordelaar van die Letterkunde-kompetisie, se die volgende oor BFF: Die karakters is juis, eg en uniek.; Die dialoog is kraakvars, geloofwaardig en uiters vermaaklik.; Die stuk bied baie interessante moontlikhede vir opvoering op die verhoog.; Die teks is relevant vir 'n tienerleser en 'n gehoor.; 'n Mens kan baie by die karakters leer; tog is daar nooit die gevoel van 'n preek wat afgesteek word nie. Four friends are desperately looking for dates for the Grade 11 ball and do not exactly act like BFF's (Best Friends Forever) to each other. One of the four friends decides to teach the other a lesson in loyalty and gets a Facebook heartbreaker to help her carry out her plan.
