Words matter

Spoken, written, signed … they shape society, inspire thought, connect people. And they have a flavour. Take South Africa. Daar Sy! Aikona. Dos. Eish. The words and sounds that bring us home … that Afrikaans rrrrollll, and the Xhosa click.

Words – local words – are what Exclusive Books Homebru 2024 is all about. A collection of local books – from light romance like Zibu Sithole’s I Do, I Don’t, to cookbooks like the wonderful Recipes to Die Live For by Sally Andrew’s Tannie Maria.

There are loads of events to tie in with Homebru – coffee mornings and cocktail evenings, book signings and poetry evenings and children’s parties … find the details on the Exclusive Books website where you can also order your favourite Homebru titles.
