Thandia's a sequel to the Power of One

Adele Mey (adlemey) | 485 comments Then we should rather make it Power of One

Adele Mey (adlemey) | 485 comments Abraham Verghese: "cutting for stone". Perhaps as a buddy read. An Ethiopian author

Leanne Hunt (leannehunt) Could I suggest my novel, Jozi Gold by Leanne Hunt? http://tinyurl.com/leb9715 It's a light, entertaining read and recalls the excitement and tension surrounding the 2010 Soccer World Cup. It's available in South Africa at Exclusive Books or through Kalahari and Loot. Also available in Kindle format.

Irene: Karoo Plainsong is listed on the poll as "The housemaid's Daughter"- it has two names.
I've withheld the non- SA book until Adelle is back
