Jen wrote about C

Despite – and often aided by – its morose tendencies, C is a highly comic novel. McCarthy gradually immerses us in Serge Carrefax's perspective, where we hurtle through the defining events of his life, experiencing them in our peripheral vision, all the while being confronted with the trails of codes and hidden meanings these events leave behind. C manages to examine the impossibility of communication and the encrypted codes we use to connect with each other without feeling bleak.

Bitter Leaf by Chioma Okereke

In the spirit of supporting our local authors and keeping our loyal customers ahead of the next big thing, we would like to introduce you all to new local author, Chioma Okereke and her fantastic debut novel Bitter Leaf.

"The lives of six characters intertwine in an idyllic village that is African in nature but never geographically based. Set during a time of encroaching commercialisation, these colourful inhabitants of Mannobe try to get to grips with their changing situations, without losing themselves in the process."

This poetic work is perfect for a summer read and supports local talent too!
