Publisher's summary
ʼn Feministiese roman vir konvensionele vroue Kantelpunt is die boekstawing van Nellie van der Merwe (gebore Petronella Jacoba van Aarde) se wederopstanding. Nellie is pas 50, 'n konvensionele, wit, Afrikaanse vrou wat haar lewe lank gedoen het wat almal van haar verwag - sy het stilgebly. Met haar stilte het sy haar plek gekoop in haar huwelik, haar gesin, haar familie, haar werk, in die kerk, in die land, in die samelewing. Maar dan ondergaan sy 'n histerektomie, en haar wêreld kantel. Sy is losgesny van die ding wat van haar 'n vrou gemaak het, en daarmee saam raak sy bevry van die stilte. Sy begin haar stem terugeis, soms met verreikende gevolge, soms teen 'n ontsettende prys. Sy word gedwing om alles wat sy tot dusver as gegewe aanvaar het te ondersoek, en in die proses moet sy nie net die mense naaste aan haar se aandeel in haar stryd erken nie, maar ook haar eie aandadigheid aan haar lot bepaal. Met elke insident, elke veldslag en elke gesprek tree sy verder weg van die geskiedenis en die konvensies wat haar stom gehou het, en kom sy nader aan die vrou wat sy van die begin af veronderstel was om te wees - die een met wie sý in vrede kan saamleef.

Story
Dit is Simone se annus horribilis. Op vier en veertig stap sy vir die tweede keer uit n huwelik, bankrot, werkloos, moedeloos, verbrysel. Al wat sy het om van vier en veertig jaar te wys, is n bedenklike verlede, n tienerseun wat skaars met haar praat, en die besef van mislukking en ontoereikendheid wat soos n meulsteen om haar nek hang. Al waarheen sy het om te gaan, is die kleinburgerlike dorp op die Oos-Vrystaatse platteland waar sy grootgeword het, waar haar konserwatiewe ma en konvensionele suster haar gedurig aan haar tekortkominge kan herinner. Rock bottom, dis waar sy is.

Lira kan feitlik enige gebreekte ding mooi of bruikbaar maak, maar met liefdesverhoudings vaar sy minder goed. Veral waar daar kinders betrokke is. Sy het geen benul hoe om ʼn ma te wees nie. Tog het sy geglo sy sal iets kan uitwerk wat waarde toevoeg tot Frank en Debbie se lewe. Dit is egter die een upcycling-projek waarin sy jammerlik misluk het. Sy beland op Vywerbaai waar sy ʼn winkeltjie vir haar upcycle-produkte wil oopmaak. Die finansiële risiko's wat sy neem is enorm en teenspoed bly nie uit nie, maar sy bly vasberade - upcycle gaan sy haar lewe upcycle.

Janien was op die oog af geliefd, 'n suksesvolle kunstenaar met 'n slag vir besigheid, en op die punt om met haar universiteitsliefde te trou. Was dit selfdood of moord? Waarom is die toneel om haar liggaam so sorgvuldig, amper kunstig, gerangskik? En hoekom is haar rekenaar se geheue voor die tyd so sorgvuldig skoongevee?

Hulle is almal in die land. Die Italianers met hulle Mafia-verbintenisse, die Chinese triades, die Nigeriërs, die Russe, Koreane, Indiërs, die hele lot, en dan natuurlik nog die plaaslike ouens ook. Niemand is hier vir die land en die Kaap se natuurskoon nie. Hulle het nie sentiment oor ’n politieke bestel of ’n reënboognasie nie. Geld is die enigste god wat aanbid word. Toe Ellie McKenna instem om hierdie wêreld te infiltreer, het sy gedink sy weet waarvoor sy haar inlaat. Maar soos haar pa altyd gesê het, die duiwel deel nie visitekaartjies uit nie.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Tour de force
Die boek het my gegooi...was moeilik, voel of ek effe van mÿ as af is. Nellie en ek het min in gemeen - ek baklei al die gryskop, Broederbonders vsn st4 af en is letterlik stukkend geslaan beide by die skool & huis. Ek het voor 30 geskei, steeds voort baklei. Ek waardeer die stuk oor Noluthando, want ek wou hom blixm omdat ek ook deelgeneem het aan die struggle en ek nou weer weg gewens word. My eerste Sophia boek - ek proseseer nog...vermoed dit gaan soos Sushi wees...moeilik om die eerste keer te sluk en dan verslawend. Dankie,Sophia... Vytjie Molefe du Blanc(fb) - jy het my tot in my fondamente geskud.

Wou dit nie luister nie
Na die eerste rukkie wou ek nie verder luister nie. Wou nie hoor van slagifferskap en onderdrukking nie en die waarhede wat in my eie lewe ontbloot sou word nie. Dankbaar ek het enduit geluister.

Skitterend!
Ek is sprakeloos! Die storielyn was aangrypend, snaaks, diep, hartseer en kon myself met soveel daarvan vereenselwig.

Gender based violence within a society, could be your next door neighbor!
So much raw emotions in story telling, had me in tears to think a spouse or life partner could be so cruel.
