I have been struggling to find books that I enjoy for some time now, especially with fiction. I ordered Finding Endurance on whim, having seen many positive views on the Good Book Appreciation Society's Facebook page, but I thought it might be yet another book that I ditched 100 pages in/100 pages from the end because I really didn't care what happened to the characters. How wrong could I be? I've been obsessed with polar travel for years, but I knew that this book was not going to be another rehash of the amazing Shackleton and his achievements. Well, it blew my hair back, as they say in the classics. Darrel Bristow Bovey has created a masterpiece! It is funny, sad, mind-blowing and the best book I've read in years. It is certainly the best South African book in a VERY long time. I'm telling everyone to read it, as i think everyone will get something out of it. I'm dreading finishing it, and may have to just read it again immediately!
I enjoyed Heartless and have read all the books in that series. However, the new series's books, starting with Wild Love, I can't find. Is there a particular reason why you don't stock it?
