Book Description
Why don’t white people understand that Converse tekkies are not just cool but a political statement to people of colour? Why is it that South Africans of colour don’t really ‘write what we like’? What’s the deal with people pretending to be ‘woke’? Is Islam really as antifeminist as is claimed? What does it feel like to be a brown woman in a white media corporation? And what life lessons can we learn from Bollywood movies? In Sorry, Not Sorry, Haji Mohamed Dawjee explores the often maddening experience of moving through post-apartheid South Africa as a woman of colour. In characteristically candid style, she pulls no punches when examining the social landscape: from arguing why she’d rather deal with an open racist than some liberal white people, to drawing on her own experience to convince readers that joining a cult is never a good idea. In the provocative voice that has made Mohamed Dawjee one of our country’s most talked-about columnists, she offers observations laced with an acerbic wit. Sorry, Not Sorry will make readers laugh, wince, nod, introspect and argue.

Book Description
Welcome to the Morris Museum of Supernatural Curiosities, where faeries roam and the museum's enigmatic host hides a monstrous secret. Before he became the Master and emissary of the Unseelie Court, Cecil Morris strove to make a name for himself in a bustling Victorian-Era London. Vowing to leave all magic behind, Cecil opens a museum of Fae to share his knowledge with the world with the help of his friend and benefactor, Sir Felix Todd. Recently widowed, Felix has now remarried the young and mysterious Madam Hazel, an event that summons his eldest daughter, Lucy, to London. Lucy is plagued by nightmares of a terrifying horned figure, and if she ever hopes to understand her dark visions, she must confide in Cecil—a man she feels as much contempt for as she does attraction. To the surprise of everyone, the stern Lucy soon becomes governess to Vera, Cecil's ward and unusual child with a magical musical talent. But when a vicious animal attack leaves leads to Cecil, he must clear his name before his secret magic and murderous past is revealed. Beasts of London is the first novel in a Winter Fae's Blight prequel series and was originally published on Kindle Vella. It can be read as a prequel or as a standalone series.

Book Description
From Whitbread Novel Award-winning and Booker Prize-shortlisted author Justin Cartwright comes an intimate exploration of one man's relationship with South Africa and its turbulent history 'Justin Cartwright is one of our best novelists' Telegraph 'Cartwright is as accomplished as anyone writing fiction today' Scotsman 'This is Cartwright at his best, delivering a strong story with skill and feeling' Mail on Sunday 'History . . . is seldom able to convey the essence of being human.' Frank McAllister has become wealthy in England, where he has lived for thirty years. He has a house in Notting Hill, a house in the New Forest, and a house near Cape Town. But more and more he feels alienated in England. As the book opens, he is preparing to go to South Africa with his lover, Nellie. He is also waiting anxiously for his daughter, Lucinda, to arrive from California, where she has been in rehab. Frank is a descendant of the Boer leader, Piet Retief, who was murdered by the Zulu king Dingane, along with all his followers, in 1838. He has been an icon of Afrikaners ever since. Frank's Afrikaner cousin, Jaco, has become moderately famous on YouTube for having faced down a huge white shark. He is now in America, where he has joined the Scientologists. His chaotic and violent life spills over on to Frank. He is drawn into a world of violence and delusion that is to threaten the family. _________________________ Justin Cartwright possesses that rarest of novelist's skills – the ability to create fiction which is intensely serious but which also vividly encompasses the absurdity and comedy of life. Up Against the Night is a subtle, brilliant novel about South Africa, its beautiful, superbly evoked landscape, its violent past and its uncertain present. Justin Cartwright is a descendant of Piet Retief.
