Hey, and happy Monday. Another book to put on your reading list...

Eletseha by Tumelo Moleleki. It'll be released in mid-March. R200 for the first 50 copies sold!

What's it about?

Crushed by the end of her marriage, Eletseha vacillates between despairing that she has made a major mistake and hoping that she might find love, in her future, which makes her grateful for the unpleasant chapter of her life that has just started.

Determined to suffer as little as possible, she moves home to enjoy the cocoon of love and attention she will find in her childhood home.

Single motherhood is not easy but her aspirations for her young progeny give her a renewed vigour for life and all that it promises.
A chance encounter with a fellow parent, during orientation at her child’s new school, marks the beginning of a whirlwind existence.

She is in for the ride of her life, experiencing budding love and mounting responsibilities in the form of an adopted young charge.

Is Eletseha destined to find the love she never had in her former marriage?

SUBMISSIONS FOR THE 2023 DINAANE DEBUT FICTION AWARD ARE OPEN!

Jacana Media publishes authors and not just books. With this award, we focus on debut writers, looking to encourage new writing talent. Sometimes wonderful, illuminating and challenging fiction doesn’t get published because publishers are more and more constrained by market forces. Fiction is the one genre where the truths about our society are documented in an uncensored manner. Encouraging and publishing the best of burgeoning South African writers is one way of ensuring storytelling remains a way to understand ourselves and one another.
