The other Shakespeares

Maggie O Farrell never disappoints! The details in the story are spellbinding and she takes you on a journey with each of the characters that makes you feel as though you are experiencing each moment with them with every word she writes.

- The Art of Being Awful

This book was a wild ride — in the best and weirdest possible ways. I went into it expecting a cerebral fantasy and came out with a deeply chaotic family drama, peppered with speculative tech, toxic sibling dynamics, and a narrator who isn’t afraid to take the mickey out of the entire cast.

The story follows the Wren siblings in the wake of their brilliant-but-terrible father’s death.

There’s a funeral, a mountain of buried trauma, and a whole lot of questionable decisions. Each sibling has some sort of tech-based power, but honestly, the “magic” is just flavouring — the real story is the messy emotional wreckage of growing up under pressure and privilege.

The character work is absolutely the highlight here. Meredith Wren became my accidental favourite — sharp-edged, hard to like, and surprisingly moving. No one in this book is particularly kind or sensible, but that’s sort of the point. It’s a study in moral greyness, with love, guilt, and capitalism swirling in the background like storm clouds.

What to expect:
- Self-aware, sarcastic narration
- Morally questionable rich people with emotional depth
- Superpowers as metaphor
- Themes of grief, legacy, merit, and messy healing
- Slow start, steady build, satisfying catharsis

Wouldn’t recommend this for readers who need a well-defined magic system or tightly structured plot. But if you love flawed characters, introspective chaos, and dialogue that bites, this one’s worth a go.

Amazing book.

Amazing book. Loved it. Fewy typo errors thought.

'n Moordraaisel met ruggraat

Die dood van Rachel April is ’n moordraaisel met ruggraat — en siel. P.P. Fourie skryf met integriteit, styl én insig. Hier vind jy nie net spanning nie, maar ’n fyn verweefde verhaal oor identiteit, kleur, skuld en versoening.

Toe Lesea du Plessis se vriendin Rachel met ’n steekwond in haar hart gevind word, belowe sy vir Rachel se dogtertjie antwoorde — en so begin ’n speurtog wat persoonlik én gevaarlik word. Die intrige lei haar na ’n Anglo-Boereoorlogmuseum, waar Rachel iets belangriks ontdek het. Maar iemand wil die waarheid wegsteek.

Fourie se gebruik van geskiedenis — en die teenwoordigheid van Vincent van Gogh en sy broer — bring ’n nuwe dimensie aan die storie. Die temas van ras, aanneming, en die fyn balans tussen vergifnis en goedkeuring is roerend én relevant.

Die roman is poëties in struktuur: dit begin en eindig met die Vrystaatse graslandskap — eers in herfs, laaste in somer. ’n Simboliese reis van bewuswording tot vrede.

Aanbeveel vir:
Lesers wat hou van slim fiksie met siel. As jy fassinerende karakters, historiese dimensie, en Afrikaans wat werk, waardeer — lees hierdie boek.
