I Wish, I Wish
"As a mortician, Seb has mastered the art of making the dead resemble the living. He has embalmed countless corpses, unpacked organs, reset bones and made up pallid faces for their final viewing. If he's honest, he prefers the company of the deceased - no surprises and nobody to witness his inadequacy. But they don't make for great work stories - nothing for his teenage children to look up to or to attract the waning interest of his wife. It looks like another humdrum day at White Lily Funerals when Seb meets Gabe, a dying boy unusually interested in caskets, who forces the mortician to rearrange the pieces of his life and shows him that magic doesn't have to be just a wish."--Back cover.
'n Ander Mens
Polisievrou Erica van der Linde is in beheer van die getuiebeskermingsprogram in Kaapstad in die jare negentig. Sy het die perfekte manier gevind om te verseker dat getuies in haar bewaring vir goed verdwyn uit die normale samelewing. Sy vermoor hulle. Maar sy't nog nooit 'n getuie soos Daniël Enslin teëgekom nie.
Half of One Thing
Gideon Lancaster, a New Zealand soldier fighting for the British, infiltrates a Boer commando. He soon finds himself entangled in a confusion of loyalties as he becomes better acquainted with the men and, worse, falls in love with Esther Calitz, a Boer woman of considerable mettle who demands his loyalty over every other allegiance. Between Esther and Commandant Jacob Eksteen, his taciturn rival in love and a man of clear black-and-white convictions, Lancaster navigates his way only with great difficulty. So powerful are the conflicting demands of fidelity and love that he seizes a quixotic opportunity when a large British battalion is mobilised in what is to be the final triumph of the imperial forces. Half of One Thing is a ripping good read, a love story and a war adventure subtly written with a confident hand.
Parts Unknown
German South West Africa, 1905. The disillusioned soldier Siegfried Bock's path crosses that of Lisbeth Löwenstein, a poor Jewess who has to marry a German settler she's hardly met, the Damara man Mordegai Guruseb who escaped from a concentration camp, and the pseudoscientist Albert Pitzer. As fates intertwine their humanity is severely tested.
Riddle Child
Alexander is autistic. When he is nine years old he is found dead in a bath of water. The only other person in the house at the time is his mother Ingrid. The circumstances arouse suspicion and the police take Ingrid into custody. Did she murder her child? And who could blame her if she did? She has had nine years of hell with her uncontrollable child, all those she cares about have deserted her, and not even the church has come to her assistance. Her efforts to find help for Alexander have left her bankrupt and she is emotionally and physically depleted. If it were not for Miriam and Gunter, she would surely never have endured the nine years... In this haunting novel Annelie Botes exposes the tragedy of autism and its devastating effect on families. Searingly honest, it brings home the inescapable truth that society can be cruelly indifferent to whatever it perceives to be aberrant.

Die Vertes In
"Duits Suidwes-Afrika, 1905. Die ontnugterde soldaat Siegfried Bock se pad kruis dié van Lisbeth Löwenstein, 'n arm Jodin wat met 'n Duitse setlaar moet trou wat sy skaars ken, die Damara-man Mordegai Guruseb wat uit 'n konsentrasiekamp ontsnap het, en die pseudowetenskaplike Albert Pitzer. En elkeen se menslikheid word tot die uiterste beproef."--Back cover.

The Goodbye Kiss
An unscrupulous womanizer, as devoid of morals as he once was full of idealistic fervor, returns to Italy where he is wanted for a series of political crimes. To avoid prison he sells out his old friends, turns his back on his former ideals, and cuts deals with crooked cops. To achieve the guise of respectability he is willing to go even further, maybe even as far as murder.
