Book club<br />
It’s a thrill-a-minute this month ... with a little love thrown in for fun.<br />
To celebrate half a dozen fabulous bookclub reads,<br />
we’re opening a bottle of Journey’s End Vineyards’<br />
first sparkling wine, a Brut Reserve Cap Classique.<br />
With vibrant notes of citrus and pear complemented<br />
by crushed almonds and creamy biscuit undertones,<br />
it’s a lovely, full-bodied wine, which, served well<br />
chilled, is perfect on its own as an aperitif and an<br />
ideal partner for oysters. R198 at journeysend.co.za<br />
Emma loves her husband and their<br />
daughter. But almost everything she’s<br />
told them about herself is a lie. And<br />
she might have got away with it, if it<br />
weren’t for her husband’s job. Leo is<br />
an obituary writer and Emma is a wellknown<br />
marine biologist. When she<br />
suffers a serious illness, Leo copes by<br />
doing what he knows best – reading<br />
and writing about her life. But as he<br />
starts to unravel her past, he discovers<br />
the woman he loves doesn’t really<br />
exist. Even her name is fictitious. When<br />
the truth of Emma’s past life finally<br />
emerges, she has to prove to Leo that<br />
she really is the woman he always<br />
thought she was. But first, she must<br />
tell him about the love of her other<br />
life! PanMacmillan<br />
Forecast: Storm clouds are on the<br />
horizon! L.A. Weather by Maria<br />
Amparo Excandón is an hilarious,<br />
fast-paced family drama, a novel about<br />
a Mexican-American family living<br />
in LA. There’s Oscar - the weatherobsessed<br />
patriarch, who is harboring<br />
a costly secret that distracts him from<br />
everything else, except the fact that<br />
LA’s dry as a bone and he’s desperate<br />
for it to rain. Then there’s his wife, Keila<br />
... she’s desperate for a life with a little<br />
more intimacy and a little less Weather<br />
Channel. There are three daughters ...<br />
a television chef with a hard-hearted<br />
attitude, a successful architect who<br />
suffers from gentrification guilt, and<br />
a social media wizard who has an<br />
uncanny knack for connecting with<br />
audiences but not with her lovers.<br />
They’re all left blindsided when Keila<br />
announces she wants to divorce Oscar.<br />
Secrets, deception, and betrayal. And<br />
the family’s toughest decision yet ...<br />
whether to stick together or burn it all<br />
down. PanMacmillan.<br />
