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 ’
