François Bloemhof

François Bloemhof is in die 1960's in die Paarl gebore. Hy het in 1991 op die Suid-Afrikaanse literêre toneel verskyn as De Kat-pryswenner met sy debuutroman "Die nag het net een oog". Sy volgende drie boeke was almal op 'n manier spanningsverhale, voor moeilik klassifiseerbare tekste soos "Storieboek", "Hostis" en "Klipgooi".

Omdat jonger lesers van sy boeke gehou het, het hy ook spesifiek vir hulle begin skryf, met soveel sukses dat hy 'n ruk lank net daarop gekonsentreer het. Hy het gou 'n klomp ATKV-Veertjies ('n kompetisie waarin jong lesers self hul wenboeke aanwys) op sy rak gehad, asook pryse vir die tienermark, insluitend vir "Slinger-slinger" en "Nie vir kinders nie" (in Tafelberg en Sanlam se Jeuglektuurwedstryd) en "Stad aan die

Jane Austen

Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment upon the English landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works are an implicit critique of the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her deft use of social commentary, realism and biting irony have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.

The anonymously published Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816), were a modest success but br

Sophia Kapp

Sophia Kapp skryf die soort stories wat sy self graag lees – liefdesromans. Sy glo onwrikbaar in die liefde en in die helende krag daarvan, maar glo ook dat haar hoofkarakters dieselfde sout as haar lesers moet opeet voordat hulle die vervulling daarvan mag smaak. Daarom plaas sy haar heldinne binne realistiese, lewensgetroue situasies en laat sy hulle spook met geloofwaardige krisisse waardeur vroue dwarsoor die wêreld en die sosiale spektrum moet worstel: verraad, verlies, egskeiding, affairs, miskrame, middelmisbruik, moeilike tieners, bagasie van vorige verhoudings ... Maar vir elke heldin wat bereid is om hierdie krisisse aan te pak en te oorkom, is daar ’n held, ’n man wat by haar pas en haar waardig is; iemand saam met wie sy binne ’
