We recommend:

Six fang marks and a tetanus shot (Richard de Nooy)

“A war correspondent sets out from Amsterdam to South Africa to piece together the fragmented history of Ysbrand (Ace) and Rem, two brothers from SA.”

“The book starts with a hilarious look into the childhood of brothers Ace and Rem. Rem blunders into so many accidents as he tackles life without thinking . One feels sorry for Ace who gets burdened with the responsibility of keeping Rem, if not in one piece, at least alive.”

“…gripping ending which will take you by surprise.” (http://ninjamonkeys.co.za)

A local author’s disturbing, heart-warming fictional tale of a young Cape Town girl’s life and struggle to choose better options amidst abandonment, violence and prostitution.
