WINNER OF THE GOODREADS CHOICE AWARDS DEBUT NOVEL OF THE YEAR. THE ROM-COM OF 2021. A BOOKTOK SENSATION.

A wedding in Spain. The most infuriating man. Three days to convince your family you're actually in love. . .

Catalina Martin desperately needs a date to her sister's wedding. Especially when her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiralled out of control. Now everyone she knows - including her ex-boyfriend and his fiancee - will be there. She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic for her and aid in her deception.

NYC to Spain is no short flight and her family won't be easy to fool. But even then, when Aaron Blackford - the 6'4", blue-eyed pain in the arse - offers to step in, she's not tempted even for a second. Never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling and insufferable man. But Catalina is desperate and as the wedding gets closer the more desirable an option Aaron Blackford becomes.

The Spanish Love Deception is an enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating romance. Perfect for those looking for a steamy slow-burn with the promise of a sweet happy-ever-after.

From James McBride, author of the bestselling Oprah’s Book Club pick Deacon King Kong and the National Book Award–winning The Good Lord Bird, a novel about small-town secrets and the people who keep them

In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When the state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize him, it was Chona and Nate Timblin, the Black janitor at Moshe’s theater and the unofficial leader of the Black community on Chicken Hill, who worked together to keep the boy safe.

As these characters’ stories overlap and deepen, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins of white, Christian America struggle and what they must do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town’s white establishment played in it, McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community—heaven and earth—that sustain us.

Bringing his masterly storytelling skills and his deep faith in humanity to The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, James McBride has written a novel as compassionate as Deacon King Kong and as inventive as The Good Lord Bird.

What is more important? Friendship, loyalty, or love?

Ridge and Sydney are thrilled to finally be together guilt-free. But as the two of them navigate this freedom, Warren and Bridgette’s relationship is as tumultuous as ever, and Maggie grapples with her illness.

When she comes across an old list of things she wanted to do “maybe one of these days,” Maggie decides to live life to the fullest and accomplish these dreams. Maggie keeps Ridge updated on her adventures, but he can’t help but worry, even as Sydney grows more and more suspicious about their friendship. But if she’s going to move past this jealousy, she’ll need to reconcile how she and Ridge came together with the fact that Maggie will always be in their lives somehow…or end up walking away from the man she loves so much.

Featuring new songs by Griffin Peterson, this emotive and satisfying finale proves that maybe someday might be right now.

Kolisile, ’n jong Xhosa uit die Transkei, kyk na die sukkelende mielies op sy pa se lappie grond en besef dat die bestaansboerdery van sy bawu en dié se bawu voor hom nie langer volhoubaar is nie. Hy besluit om stad toe te gaan waar hy geld kan verdien wat hy weer in hulle boerderytjie sal kan inploeg. Met die belofte dat hy sal terugkom én sy verlore broer Mfazwe, wat jare gelede in die stad weggeraak het, sal saambring, vertrek Kolisile vol moed en geesdrif – net om deur die harde werklikheid van die stad ontgogel, getemper en uiteindelik geknak te word.

Op die Johannesburgse myne beleef Kolisile die armoede en uitsigloosheid van plakkersdorpe, ervaar hy die rassisme en uitbuiting van die apartheidsbestel aan eie lyf, word hy vir die eerste keer met werklike haat vir die ander gekonfronteer en sien hy die aantrekkingskrag van misdaad, leuns en drankmisbruik as ontsnaproete uit die byna ondraaglike werklikheid vanuit sy broer Mfazwe se perspektief. Wanneer hy uiteindelik weer sy weg na die Transkei toe vind, is dit – soos wat sy pa gevrees en voorspel het – as ’n liggaamlik én geestelik gewonde mens.

Dit is die ironie van die lewe dat die dinge waarna jy die hardste streef omdat jy meen dat jy daardeur geluk kan verwerf, jou ontgaan juis op die oomblik wanneer dit net binne jou bereik le. Dit is die pad van die lewe wat na eensaamheid lei. Willem, ’n uitgeworpene, is oortuig dat daar niks op die aarde is om na te strewe en voor te werk nie. Dan kry hy ’n nuwe geloof wanneer hy weer verantwoordelikheid kry vir plante en diere, vir lewende dinge wat van hom afhanklik is. Willem se pad kruis met Hans. Hans aanvaar al sy lewe lank dat elke mens verantwoordelikhede het en ’n plig om te werk. En wanneer hy begin vrae stel en die aanvaarding verdwyn, plaas hy nie net homself op die pad na eensaamheid nie, maar hy vernietig ook die geluk wat twee ander mense moontlik sou kon vind.

Ons sweer saam: Ek gaan haar ’n papierlewe gee, of nog beter: ’n nuwe lewe. ’n Lewe waarin sy weer maklik kan loop, haar lippe rooi maak, wye rokke dra of haar vuurbestande baadjiepakke. Ek wil ’n dansende moeder uitbeeld, ’n vegtende moeder. Die sterk vrou van my jeug.

“Ek kry ’n lewe by,” – sy grom tevrede – “maar ek wil wel iets in ruil hê.”

“Ek sal al jou inkopies doen, die kombuisvloer mop …”

“Pille. Jy kry ’n storie, ek ’n pil.”

Ná ’n lang lewe van swye en uitsluiting begin ’n moeder skielik met haar seun praat – aarselende ontboesemings oor grensoorskrydende liefde, verraad en drie oorloë. Hy, ’n romanskrywer, mag haar biograaf word, maar daar is ’n voorwaarde: Hy moet haar ’n sagte dood besorg.

Ek kom terug is ’n tragikomedie oor die onstuimige lewe van ’n vrou wat terugkyk op haar eeu.
