“The year isn’t over yet, but we had to round up our favourite books of 2017 so far. These books have made us laugh and cry, and have kept us up late many a night.”_ Marie Claire South Africa
In some very good company, and topping this auspicious list at number one, was Bone Meal For Roses! Here’s what they had to say:
“This Johannesburg author has recently published her second novel about a young girl who is rescued from her abusive mother. Taken to her grandmother’s farm to recover, Poppy grows up and struggles to shake off her traumatic past. Bone Meal For Roses is a captivating book that taps into themes of memory, pain and healing. We loved this emotionally-charged book, it’s a perfect choice to add to your reading list.”
