melon … Steenberg<br />
Sauvignon Blanc<br />

In Grown Ups, Marian Keyes introduces us to the Cawseys. Two brothers, their lovely,<br />
talented wives and a host of children … they’re a happy bunch. But under the surface,<br />
things are a little murky. Bulimia. Compulsive shopping. One adoring husband, the<br />
other a bit of a sod. When secrets, are revealed they all have to take a good look<br />
at themselves. A wonderful read. Penguin, R220 • After her entire family is gunned<br />
down following her journalist husband’s tell-all profile about the drug lord of a new<br />
cartel, Lydia Quixano Pérez is forced to flee<br />
with her eight-year-old son. The two soon<br />
find themselves transformed into migrants,<br />
having to ride la bestia—trains that make<br />
their way north toward the United States, the<br />
only place they think they’ll be safe. A story<br />
about a mother on the run … all too real,<br />
completely heartbreaking, Jeanine Cummins’<br />
American Dirt is absolutely gripping (and is<br />
massively controversial in the USA). Headline,<br />
R302 • Every morning, four women swim off<br />
an Australian beach. Theresa with two kids<br />
and a disintegrating marriage, lonely widow<br />
Marie, Elaine from England who’s finding it hard<br />
to settle, and 25-year-old Leanne with only<br />
herself to rely on. The women become friends<br />
in The Shelly Bay Ladies Swimming Circle<br />
– a heart-warming tale of survival, laughter<br />
and true friendship through good times and<br />
(sometimes very) bad. Sophie Green has written<br />
a gorgeously fulfilling story. Little Brown, R325<br />
