This book will raise eyebrows. The beginning contains crude k-words and many other things from which the reader would want to run away.<\/p>\n

Then, thankfully, the character grows up and changes.<\/p>\n

The novel is set in the South Africa of 1986. Pete de Lange is a 16-year-old Afrikaner boy from Dannhauser, a small village in Natal. Pete wants to play rugby and he wants to smooch girls. Now that he is in standard eight, he thinks that the first rugby team has an opening for him, the seniors\u2019 bus has hockey girls for him and that life is beautiful.<\/p>\n

A brutal incident changes his life forever. For a few frightening minutes, he believed that he was going die before he would even be able to kiss a girl.<\/p>\n

The problem is, living can sometimes be more difficult than dying. Especially if you stand in the shadow of PW Botha\u2019s finger and you got yourself into deep trouble; together with a black boy (Petrus) and an Indian girl (Sarita).<\/p>\n

Even when they try to be normal, it is not possible. In the words of Sarita: \u201cThis is awkward, not so? Look at us, pretending. As if this is normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will Pete become a man during 1986? Or will this year pass by as a tiny blob, as did Halley’s Comet?<\/p>\n

This book cuts deep, very deep.<\/p>\n

The end is momentous, but it takes the reader to dark and troubled times before offering an end that is likely to leave even the toughest reader in tears.<\/p>\n

The body of a much-loved resident is found in a tidal pool near a peaceful coastal town. Her friend, Daleen, a professional photographer, realises that this is no ordinary drowning, because Nerina suffered from hydrophobia. In her search for motives, Daleen discovers that the town is not quite as innocent as it first appeared.<\/p>\n

Already ill at ease, Daleen is becoming increasingly concerned about the safety of her teenage daughter, Dalri.<\/p>\n

A cryptic warning that she receives reveals the culprit\u2019s discomfort about her hobby: time-lapse photography of the night sky. It implies that she might be closer to answers than she realises. But what those answers are, remain a mystery.<\/p>\n

The small town, Makulu Manzi in KZN, is fictitious, but those who know the coastline, will enjoy picking up references to real towns.<\/p>\n

The Mula shop that serves the community by means of a recycling project and a communal vegetable garden, has its roots in a real-life example from the eastern cape.<\/p>\n

This is a crime novel with soul.<\/p>\n

After an absence of four years, Carl McGregor returns to Cape Town\u2019s northern suburbs. His plans are to save his younger brother from the claws of The Zoo. That is how people refer to the other three inhabitants of the house:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • the sly Maxie Thorpe with her cosmetically-enhanced face,<\/li>\n
  • her son Leo, with his tendency towards violence,<\/li>\n
  • her daughter Mandy, with her playful but troubled disposition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Maxie Thorpe is Carl\u2019s aunt, the recently widowed matriarch of the house, and the mastermind behind the family fortune. She also controls all that goes on in the basement of their Durbanville mansion known as \u2018The Zoo\u2019.<\/p>\n

    Carl and his younger brother Robbie had moved in with their wealthy aunt and uncle after the brutal farm murder on their parents. As Carl grew up, he slowly discovered how they REALLY made their money.<\/p>\n

    After leaving school, he tried to get away for a few years, but the guilt of leaving his brother behind, forced him to return as a young adult in the hope of rescuing Robbie. Robbie has now finished school, but to Carl\u2019s horror, he is working for the Thorpes \u2013 and has fallen in love with their rebel daughter Mandy.<\/p>\n

    Shocking secrets are exposed as Carl tries to rescue Robbie. This is a dark, disturbing novel with some shocking twists and is not for the prudish or faint hearted.<\/p>\n
