Mmusi Maimane: Prophet or Puppet? by S’thembiso Msomi
9781868427086 | Jonathan Ball Publishers | TPB | R200
On May 10, 2015, Mmusi Maimane was announced as the new leader of the Democratic
Alliance, beating his opponent by a huge margin. It was an historic event because it marked the
completion of the DA’s transformation from a ‘white’ political party to one whose new leader
shared similar experiences to those of the majority of voters. Thus a highly intelligent and
charismatic young man was thrust onto centre stage. But who is the real Mmusi Maimane?
Experienced political reporter S’Thembiso Msomi goes behind the scenes to examine how and
why Maimane rose to head up the opposition. Finally, the author attempts to answer these
burning questions: is Maimane his own man, and can he deliver the electorate that the DA so
fervently desires?

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany
9780751565355 | Little, Brown | HB | R375

Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the

he never wanted.
Barkskins by Annie Proulx
9780007579327 | HarperCollins | TPB | R360
From Annie Proulx-the Pulitzer Prize-and National Book Award-winning author of The
Shipping News and Brokeback Mountain, comes her masterwork: an epic, dazzling, violent,
magnificently dramatic novel about the taking down of the world’s forests. Proulx’s inimitable
genius is her creation of characters who are so vivid-in their greed, lust, vengefulness, or their
simple compassion and hope-that we follow them with fierce attention. Annie Proulx is one of
the most formidable and compelling American writers, and Barkskins is her greatest novel, a
magnificent marriage of history and imagination.
End of Watch by Stephen King
9781473634015 | Hodder & Stoughton | TPB | R390
The spectacular finale to the New York Times bestselling trilogy that began with Mr. Mercedes
(winner of the Edgar Award) and Finders Keepers-In End of Watch, the diabolical “Mercedes
Killer” drives his enemies to suicide, and if Bill Hodges and Holly Gibney don’t figure out a way
to stop him, they’ll be victims themselves. In End of Watch, Stephen King brings the Hodges
trilogy to a sublimely terrifying conclusion, combining the detective fiction of Mr. Mercedes and
Finders Keepers with the heart-pounding, supernatural suspense that has been his bestselling
trademark. The result is an unnerving look at human vulnerability and chilling suspense. No one
does it better than King.

Nobody knew where the virus came from. FOX News said it had been set loose by ISIS, using
spores that had been invented by the Russians in the 1980s. MSNBC said sources indicated it

the Book of Revelation. CNN reported both sides. While every TV station debated the cause, the
world burnt. Pregnant school nurse, Harper Grayson, had seen lots of people burn on TV, but the

of The Passage and the emotional impact of The Road, this is one woman’s story of survival at the
