The Little Paris Bookshop – Nina George: R75.00
https://karinstreasures.co.za/shop/the-little-paris-bookshop-nina-george/
The international bestseller, translated from the German by Simon Pare. On a beautifully restored barge on the Seine, Jean Perdu runs a bookshop; or rather a ‘literary apothecary’, for this bookseller possesses a rare gift for sensing which books will soothe the troubled souls of his customers. The only person he is unable to cure, it seems, is himself. He has nursed a broken heart ever since the night, twenty-one years ago, when the love of his life fled Paris, leaving behind a handwritten letter that he has never dared read. His memories and his love have been gathering dust – until now. The arrival of an enigmatic new neighbour in his eccentric apartment building on Rue Montagnard inspires Jean to unlock his heart, unmoor the floating bookshop and set off for Provence, in search of the past and his beloved.

https://karinstreasures.co.za/shop/redelike-twyfel-chris-marnewick/

Manon Viljoen is ‘n jong advokaat en ywerige motorfietsryer. Sy word ingeroep om as amicus curiae die regter by te staan in ‘n moordsaak om ‘n regverdige uitspraak te lewer. Die beskuldigde is Charles Mouton, ‘n suksesvolle senior advokaat wat een oggend wakker word langs die bebloede lyk van sy vrou en van haar moord aangekla word. Hy weet nie wat gebeur het nie. Of so beweer hy. Hy weier om aan die verhoor deel te neem omdat hy glo die hof moet die waarheid soek. Dit val dus op Manon se skouers om die waarheid te soek en voor die hof te lê. Manon se aanstelling word bemoeilik deur die feit dat sy en regter Nantes Castel ‘n geskiedenis het. Die verhoor loop allerande draaie terwyl Manon na redelike twyfel soek en terselfdertyd haar gevoelens vir Nantes bevraagteken. Stel hy nog belang, of terg hy haar sommer net?

Vind Manon die waarheid waarna sy soek ‒ oor die identiteit van die moordenaar en ook oor Nantes se gevoelens vir haar? Of is daar redelike twyfel?

The Promise – Damon Galgut: R95.00
https://karinstreasures.co.za/shop/the-promise-damon-galgut/
The Winner of the 2021 Man Booker Prize! There is nothing unusual or remarkable about the Swart family, oh no, they resemble the family from the next farm and the one beyond that, just an ordinary bunch of white South Africans, and if you don’t believe it then listen to us speak … The many voices of The Promise tell a story in four snapshots, each one centered on a family funeral, each one happening in a different decade. In the background, a different president is in power, and a different spirit hangs over the country, while in the foreground the family fights over what they call their farm, on a worthless piece of land outside Pretoria. Over large jumps in time, people get older, faces and laws and lives all change, while a brother and sister circle around a promise made long ago, and never kept …

Harry Oppenheimer – Diamonds, Gold And Dynasty – Michael Cardo: R140.00
https://karinstreasures.co.za/shop/harry-oppenheimer-diamonds-gold-and-dynasty-michael-cardo/
Harry Oppenheimer, the international gold-and-diamond magnate, presided over the corporate dynasty of Anglo American and De Beers for more than 25 years. Yet, two decades after his death, the Oppenheimer empire is no more. As the political opposition’s key financial backer, the founder (along with Anton Rupert) of the Urban Foundation after the Soweto uprising in 1976, and a ubiquitous philanthropist, Oppenheimer helped propel the process of reform.

Nevertheless, in some quarters he is demonised as the archetype of ‘white monopoly capital’ and scapegoated, along with Nelson Mandela, for the country’s disappointing democratic dividends. In the first, full-scale biography of Oppenheimer, based on unrestricted access to his subject’s private papers and extensive interviews with family members and close associates, Michael Cardo eschews both the corporate hype and the political propaganda to produce a vivid, fully-rounded portrait.

He brings to life the places, people, events and relationships that shaped Harry Oppenheimer’s long and rich career at the intersection of business and politics. Cardo also tackles thorny questions of legacy and Oppenheimer’s complicity with the oppressive racial order of the past.
