Swart Op Wit

“My dinkgoed het deurmekaar geraak,” sê Annelie Botes. ’n Aantal jaar gelede het ’n mediastorm om dié Kammanassiekind se kop losgebars. Dit was ’n donker tyd in haar lewe, maar sy is terug op die enigste manier wat sy kén: swart-op-wit loop sy haar spore van vyf-en-vyftig jaar na en deel met die leser dinge wat sy nie verstaan nie, wat haar bang maak en wat haar bly maak. Sy doen dit vir haar kinders en hulle kinders se kinders. “Want niemand op aarde wil spoorloos die langleer klim nie,” sê sy.
Tussenin lees ons ook hoe die tóé al rebelse Annelie as tiener verlief raak op die man wat steeds die wyse, gryse engel Gabriël aan haar sy is. Oor al die berge en dale heen vlieg dié twee saam. Moeiteloos glip sy tussen kontrasterende stories: jongliefde, oumensliefde, tye toe die liefde ontbreek het. Soms lag sy uit haar agterkeel oor Basjan-kat wat sy gebied op haar skoot gemerk het, ander kere sak sy gebroke op haar knieë neer oor Jabu se rooi baadjie ...

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
