Philippa Bodenstein, reviews Chasing the Wind by Dianne Stewart (OUP, R 54.99)
I actually have no words to describe exactly how brilliant this book, written by award-winning South African author Dianne Stewart, is. It is set in Plettenberg Bay and the main character is a teenager named Jodie who lives with her aunt and uncle, as her mother has died and she has lost track of her father. She befriends a boy named Grant who understands and encourages her. When Jodie attempts to find her father she finds out that it’s like trying to find an unbroken pansy shell on a shell-covered beach. Finding him is hard for Jodie, but trying to understand him is even harder.
This book will be enjoyed by everyone and must not be missed.
It is a definite must read!
