Disobedience - Naomi Alderman
This is a little gem of a book that won Naomi Alderman the 2006 New Writers Orange Award.


The Sunburnt Queen by Hazel Crampton
The Sunburnt Queen, by Hazel Crampton, promises to tell the story of Bessie the adopted English white child of the amaMpondo, who castaway in the 1730's grows to become the Great Wife of a Prince. But does it really meet this expectation, or does she got lost amongst shipwrecks and subjectivity?


Whiteout by Ken Follett
Once again Ken Follett has produced a treat of a read in his latest literary offering – Whiteout. In this, his 17th novel, internationally best-selling author, Follett draws the reader into an “oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive” scenario. He hasn’t lost any of his literary touch, still managing to produce a superb thriller on a par with his first Best Seller – Eye of the Needle.


Shared Lives: Growing up in 50's Cape Town
Lyndall Gordon’s Shared Lives: Growing up in 50’s Cape Town, revises her memoir of life and friendships formed as a young student entering the Good Hope School within the shadows of Lion’s Head. Beautifully written, Ms Gordon takes you back to an era where woman had little purpose other than to relinquish their educated status and marry a suitable man.


Every Second Counts
Picking up from where his first biography ends, Lance Armstrong continues his narration in "Every Second Counts: From Recovery to Victory". But the book lacks heart for those looking for a glimpse into the man behind the yellow jersey.


Northern Lights

Nocturnes
In his latest work, bestselling Irish author John Connolly has created a masterful collection of short stories. Using his winning formula of combining the supernatural, mystery and crime, he takes the reader on a chilling journey through the unknown.


It's not About the Bike
Armstrong tells us about his childhood, his rise to world champion status, the astounding beginning of his eventual six straight Tour De France wins, and the cancer he fought to overcome.
