Heks | Dibi Breytenbach

A book of wars.
The Ukrainian war.
The war against unscrupulous cosmetics manufacturers.
And the war between spouses.

This is my first encounter with Dibi, and I am impressed. The hours of research that went into this book. The stories in the story. The pure Afrikaans, which made me pull my dictionary closer.

Enchanted_Bibliophile Heks is not at all what I expected, but at the same time so much more.
I never would have thought that fiction would convince me to check all the ingredients of my beauty products.

I loved this book. Salem's sister supposedly committed suicide at her college but Salem doesn't believe so she enrolls to investigate. There she meets Cass, a man with his own dark past and someone she can't stay away from 💙

What a magnificent tale of loss, grief and ethical uncertainty.

Typically, I'm not a fan of the literary genre, but this one really fascinated me.
This enigmatic, heartfelt journey through the Amazon, being immersed in a different culture while grappling with personal inner turmoil just worked for me.

Now I will also need to explore Bel Canto.
