Oswald, Lenney and Blainey on a leash

Oswald, Lenney and Blainey on a Leash is a heartwarming, richly layered memoir that follows three extraordinary lives shaped by circumstance, struggle, and serendipity. From Oswald, a clown born of hardship and resilience in the Cotswolds, to Lenny, a misunderstood child in rural Canada, and Abbo, a boy from Kampala whose life is transformed by an unlikely bond with a Shoebill Stork, this tale celebrates the triumph of spirit over adversity. Through personal tragedy, cultural divides, and the healing power of laughter and loyalty, their stories intertwine in unexpected ways. At its heart, this is a story about belonging, purpose, and the beautifully flawed journey toward becoming one’s true self. It is a tribute to memory, imagination, and the quiet magic found in the ordinary. A gentle mix of memoir, whimsy and nostalgia, this book invites readers into a world where difference is embraced, and love wears a painted smile.

In a world where secrets are bound by bloodlines and legacies are carved in shadows, Her Legacy follows the journey of Adelaide Duncan, a young woman who inherits her family’s hidden past, one filled with power, deception, and forbidden desires.
Raised in The Bastion, a secluded mansion overlooking the sea, Adelaide grows up knowing more than most about the dangerous world her family inhabits. Her mother, Lilly, was a woman of rare beauty and influence, part of an elite and secretive society that has existed for generations. But with the passing of her mother, Adelaide must navigate the haunting legacy of their work—secret societies, illicit business, and a world that sees her both as an heir to a powerful tradition and a pawn to be manipulated.

Dié boek is een van daardie moét-hê en dan moét-hou boeke. Jy kan dit net eenvoudig weer en weer lees sonder om verveeld te raak. Sybie woordspeel tussen die lyne en as mens nie fyn lees nie, verloor jy die dieper seer en vreugde, en wil ek byna sê boodskap van hierdie boek.

Elke leser bly maar op soek na goeie stories as teenmiddel teen die donker wat ons dikwels wil insluk, en na ‘n ontsnappingsroete, om vir ‘n oomblik te vergeet van tyd.
Afrikaanse stories is tydloos en jy kan verdwaal in die leefwêreld van fiksie.

Pa het altyd gesê lag is die enigste manier om die lewe se oppe en affe te hanteer.Soms word mens egter gekonfronteer met dinge totaal buite jou beheer, dinge wat die grond onder jou voete uitneem. ʼn Bitter moeilike jaar by die werk, siekte en dood … Ek kon kies – sink of skryf, lag of huil.
