Do we have anyone out there who reads in Afrikaans?
Following on from a comment someone else made here, I went and ordered some of Dalene Matthee's books. So far I have read:
Kringe in 'n Bos
Brug van die Esels
Toorbos
Still to read I have
Fiela se Kind
Pieternella van die Kaap
I was unable to get Suster van Eva, the prequel to Pieternella.
It was hard going at first but halfway through the first book the reading got easier and it has to be said, my spoken Afrikaans has improved dramatically since reading these books. The only downside has been a very strong homesickness that has come over me since reading her books - hopefully that will pass in time as well.
