When your life is a big open sky just waiting for you to let go and jump, and it feels like anything is possible. And it really is. And you really do jump. And for a time it feels like you’re flying, even as you fall.It’s all about love. Crazy, heart-breaking, rest-of-your-life-defining love.Sisters Mielie and Mare, in their early twenties in Cape Town in the mid-1990s, stand on the edge of everything they’ve dreamed of and also have yet to imagine.Mielie feels happier when there’s a script to follow. Mare’s making it up as she goes along.Both follow their hearts, in different directions, to different lives with different friends and lovers in different cities on different continents.Of course nothing goes as hoped or planned.But it’s their letters to each other, through all of it, that frame who they’re becoming and remind them who they are.---A novel that is bursting with colour, charm, humour and heart. Nostalgic and immediate, a heady evocation of young adulthood in the nineties. Anna HugThis book has depth and emotion – sentences that stop me and make me want to underline them and hold onto them. Just wonderful. Anne TaylorAn engrossing read – flowing and funny and tender, chatty and lyrical. It casts a very shrewd eye on young love, social foibles, and getting through a certain time of life. It brought back a million memories. Henrietta Rose-Innes---More book info and reviews found on www.thelanguagelaundry.co.za
