Big Little Lies meets The Witches of Eastwick—a gloriously entertaining and knife-sharp revenge fantasy about three women whose midlife crisis brings unexpected new powers—putting them on a collision course with the evil that lurks in their wealthy beach town. In the Long Island oceanfront community of Mattauk, three different women discover that midlife changes bring a whole new type of empowerment… After Nessa James’s husband dies and her twin daughters leave for college, she’s left all alone in a trim white house not far from the ocean. In the quiet of her late forties, the former nurse begins to hear voices. It doesn’t take long for Nessa to realize that the voices calling out to her belong to the dead—a gift she’s inherited from her grandmother, which comes with special responsibilities. On the cusp of 50, suave advertising director Harriett Osborne has just witnessed the implosion of her lucrative career and her marriage. She hasn’t left her house in months, and from the outside, it appears as if she and her garden have both gone to seed. But Harriett’s life is far from over—in fact, she’s undergone a stunning and very welcome metamorphosis. Ambitious former executive Jo Levison has spent thirty long years at war with her body. The free-floating rage and hot flashes that arrive with the beginning of menopause feel like the very last straw—until she realizes she has the ability to channel them, and finally comes into her power. Guided by voices only Nessa can hear, the trio of women discover a teenage girl whose body was abandoned beside a remote beach. The police have written the victim off as a drug-addicted sex worker, but the women refuse to buy into the official narrative. Their investigation into the girl’s murder leads to more bodies, and to the town’s most exclusive and isolated enclave, a world of stupendous wealth where the rules don’t apply. With their newfound powers, Jo, Nessa, and Harriett will take matters into their own hands…

A meth dealer. A prostitute. A serial killer.
At the centre of this poignant novel is Simon, a successful Johannesburg businessman, whose carefully constructed life is rapidly falling apart. Trying to make sense of it all, he returns to his childhood home in beautiful but uncosmopolitan Zululand. It is here that the reminders of his own boyhood lead him on a journey of rediscovery of both the ordinary and the extraordinary. His best friend Jonathan, blind and enigmatic, is trying to deal with the crushing weight of history and responsibility. Jonathan's twin sister Sarah, scarred by that same history, is tormented by demons both visible and invisible. These three remarkable characters try, in their own ways, to make sense of the world and their relationship to each other. Inextricably linked by fate, birth and the difficult but enriching bonds of love, this dramatic masterpiece weaves together different lives with lyrical simplicity.
