Books by Jacques Strauss

Werner holds a tedious job in the administration department of the local university and dreams of owning his own gallery. He can't undo the past, but Werner's desperation to change his own his fate will threaten not only his own family but also those still living in the aftermath of what happened all those years ago.

It's 1989, and in the dying years of the Apartheid regime, eleven-year-old Jack Viljee considers life to be simple. The son of an Afrikaans father and an English mother, wedged between a strident older and a favoured younger sister, Jack allies himself with the family's beloved maid, Susie.
