Donkertyd: Mariel le Roux
Sien my gedagtes oor DONKERTYD, Mariel le Roux se laaste boek, by die skakel hieronder.
Die boek is in essensie die verhaal van Tina se soeke na begrip van haar pa se optrede.
Uiteindelik gaan dit oor die doodswyg van dinge ter wille van die samelewing – die samelewing wat in elk geval lustig skinder oor elkeen wat uit die spoor van tradisie en konserwatisme trap.
Donkertyd is ’n waardige afsluit

"DNF. Made it to Chapter Six before abandoning it. I’m sorry to bail because the premise was a good one. Unfortunately, there were a lot of errors—wrong apostrophes, misused words, missing commas—that really took me out of a story about a copy editor."

"did you love Lessons in Chemistry? did you love it so much that you were just itching for another book about a woman in a male dominated profession in the 60s, but maybe she could be more stylish and her love interest could make it to the final pages"

"This book is an insult to my intelligence. Also, ironically, what it needed was a good copy editor.
*SPOILERS??* Not only is this not a book about confessions of any kind (or grammar), it's a book that is simply a lame and predictable rom-com. Multipl" Read more of this review » |

“When Springsteen meets a future girlfriend on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, he delivers this electric introduction: “She was Italian, funny, a beatific tomboy, with just the hint of a lazy eye, and wore a pair of glasses that made me think of the wonders of the library.”

“When it rains, the moisture in the humid air blankets our town with the smell of damp coffee grounds wafting in from the Nescafé factory at the town’s eastern edge. I don’t like coffee but I like that smell. It’s comforting; it unites the town in a common sensory experience; it’s good industry, like the roaring rug mill that fills our ears, brings work and signals our town’s vitality. There is a place here—you can hear it, smell it—where people make lives, suffer pain, enjoy small pleasures, play baseball, die, make love, have kids, drink themselves drunk on spring nights and do their best to hold off the demons that seek to destroy us, our homes, our families, our town.”
