Hi everyone — I’m Dalene
I’m originally from South Africa, but I’ve been living in Aotearoa New Zealand for the past 24 years.

Almost every book takes me down some sort of rabbit hole — something to research, or something I think about days (or years) later, or something I feel the urge to talk about with someone else.

My most recent rabbit hole book? Stolen by Ann-Helén Laestadius — there’s so much to unpack in that one: culture, silence, injustice, and identity.

I’m especially drawn to literary fiction — books that are beautifully written, with layered characters and rich, nuanced contexts. I also love historical fiction that sends me down a research rabbit hole or shows me something I didn’t know before.

Looking forward to hearing what’s been echoing in your reading life.
