Groentjiejoernalis Anna is twee-en-twintig en woon saam met haar twee pa's en onheilige horde honde en katte op 'n klein plekkie in KwaZulu-Natal. Sy onthou hoe haar ouers se huwelik op die rotse beland het toe haar pa uit die kas geneuk het - ten aanskoue van konserwatiewe familielede en nuuskierige agies vir bure en haar boheemse ma, 'n skrywer wat nou op goeie voet met Anna's se pa's verkeer.

Dis wel nie aldag maklik om kop of stert uit te maak van wat aangaan in so 'n huishouding nie, veral nie nou dat haar een pa met ernstige gesondheidsprobleme sukkel nie. Anna se werk by die koerant is ook nie sonder uitdagings nie. Maar hoe maak jy tyd vir jou eie lewe as jy die spil raak waarom die hele spulletjie tol?

In Huisies Van Papier, vier Dalena Theron die liefde en familie in al sy kleurryke gedaantes.

Three Black women are linked in unexpected ways to the same influential white man in Stockholm as they build their new lives in the most open society run by the most private people.

Successful marketing executive Kemi Adeyemi is lured from the U.S. to Sweden by Jonny von Lundin, CEO of the nation's largest marketing firm, to help fix a PR fiasco involving a racially tone-deaf campaign. A killer at work but a failure in love, Kemi's move is a last-ditch effort to reclaim her social life.

A chance meeting with Jonny in business class en route to the U.S. propels former model-turned-flight-attendant Brittany-Rae Johnson into a life of wealth, luxury, and privilege—a life she's not sure she wants—as the object of his unhealthy obsession.

And refugee Muna Saheed, who lost her entire family, finds a job cleaning the toilets at Jonny's office as she works to establish her residency in Sweden and, more importantly, seeks connection and a place she can call home.

Told through the perspectives of each of the three women, In Every Mirror She's Black is a fast-paced, richly nuanced yet accessible contemporary novel that touches on important social issues of racism, classism, fetishization, and tokenism, and what it means to be a Black woman navigating a white-dominated society.

This is a story about wholeness and holes. The ones inside us and the ones that give us refuge; about the intersection of two lives from different backgrounds and circumstances, pulled together by the pain of loss.

Emanuel is a young refugee from Congo, surviving alone on the streets of Durban after being separated from his mother while escaping the turmoil of conflict. Winter is a reclusive writer whose life has come to a standstill after the loss of her young son, whose disappearance has never been solved.

As their fatelines cross, it is not immediately apparent what the nature of the pull between them is. Emanuel in particular is resistant to Winter's overtures.

It is when she takes him with her to the Antbear Cabin, her writing refuge, that the bond between them slowly begins to form. Painful realisations surface as each recognises in the other a reflection of what they have lost. There, in the cabin of peace overlooking the steep valley of storms, the stories of Winter and Emanuel begin, finally, to reveal themselves. Each must take the difficult journey back through the heart of the wound in order to heal and learn to love - and live - again.

On one of her routine trips to the capital, Alyssium, Marin finds a revolution underway ― and a friend in the line of fire.

The author of the “sexy, insightful, and utterly charming” (BuzzFeed) Kiss Her Once for Me returns with a new queer rom-com following once childhood best friends forced together to drive their former teacher across the country.

A long time ago, Logan Maletis and Rosemary Hale used to be friends. They spent their childhood summers running through the woods, rebelling against their conservative small town, and dreaming of escaping. But then an incident the summer before high school turned them into bitter rivals. After graduation, they went ten years without speaking.

Now in their thirties, Logan and Rosemary find they aren’t quite living the lives of adventure they imagined for themselves. Still in their small town and working as teachers at their alma mater, they’re both stuck in old patterns. Uptight Rosemary chooses security and stability over all else, working constantly, and her most stable relationship is with her label maker. Chaotic and impulsive Logan has a long list of misguided ex-lovers and an apathetic shrug she uses to protect herself from anything real. And as hard as they try to avoid each other—and their complicated past—they keep crashing into each other. Including with their cars.

But when their beloved former English teacher and lifelong mentor tells them he has only a few months to live, they’re forced together once and for all to fulfill his last wish: a cross-country road trip. Stuffed into the gayest van west of the Mississippi, the three embark on a life-changing summer trip—from Washington state to the Grand Canyon, from the Gulf Coast to coastal Maine—that will chart a new future and perhaps lead them back to one another.

A spellbinding, sweeping novel about a Malayan mother who becomes an unlikely spy for the invading Japanese forces during WWII – and the shocking consequences that rain upon her community and family.

Malaya, 1945. Cecily Alcantara’s family is in terrible danger: her 15-year-old son, Abel, has disappeared, and her youngest daughter, Jasmin, is confined in a basement to prevent being pressed into service at the comfort stations. Her eldest daughter Jujube, who works at a tea house frequented by drunk Japanese soldiers, becomes angrier by the day.

Cecily knows two things: that this is all her fault; and that her family must never learn the truth.

A decade prior, Cecily had been desperate to be more than a housewife to a low-level bureaucrat in British-colonized Malaya. A chance meeting with the charismatic General Fuijwara lured her into a life of espionage, pursuing dreams of an "Asia for Asians." Instead, Cecily helped usher in an even more brutal occupation by the Japanese. Ten years later as the war reaches its apex, her actions have caught up with her. Now her family is on the brink of destruction—and she will do anything to save them.

Spanning years of pain and triumph, told from the perspectives of four unforgettable characters, THE STORM WE MADE is a dazzling saga about the horrors of war; the fraught relationships between the colonized and their oppressors, and the ambiguity of right and wrong when survival is at stake.
