LOVE YOU MADLY

352pp., paperback, Cape Town, 2021

A novel set in the early 1990s. Mielie and Mare, two sisters in their early twenties, leave Cape Town, move to different cities on different continents, make different friends, fall in love - and write long letters to each other about it all.

"An engrossing read - flowing and funny and tender, chatty and lyrical. It casts a very shrewd eye on young love, social foibles, and getting through a certain time of life. It brought back a million memories."  Henrietta Rose-Innes, author of Nineveh and The Rock Alphabet
