Dis Koue Kos, Skat
Share
Marita van der Vyver se jongste is die vertroude gehalte in 'n splinternuwe gedaante - dis 'n briefroman! Dis Koue Kos, Skat is die briewe en e-pos van 'n vrou in haar liefde verlaat; dit is briewe wat gil van woede, pleit om begrip en skreeu om wraak. Die verhaal ontvou in korrespondensie wat oor 'n dekade geskryf is - aan 'n ontroue man en vriendinne. Clara Brand se man, Bernard, verlaat haar vir Anais, een van Clara se beste vriendinne.
Die briewe wys die verskeie 'stasies' van Clara se herstelproses: woede, aanvaarding, nuwe vryheid, herstel van haar sekslewe, hernieude bande met haar eks-man, die deurlopende poging om haar kinders normaal groot te maak. Uiteindelik eindig Bernard se tweede huwelik ook op die rotse (nie deur Clara se toedoen nie), en wanneer hy weer tot haar toenadering soek, besef sy dat sy uiteindelik finaal van hom verlos is, en as gewone vriendin saam met hom sal kan aansit vir 'n ete.
Dis Koue Kos, Skat is 'n vreeslose ontboeseming; dit is slim, genuanseerd en gesofistikeerd. Dit is 'n eerlike, lewensgetroue en verkwiklike uitbeelding van Graham Greense se uitspraak: 'We do not have to win the battle of the sexes, we merely have to survive it.'

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.
