8 of the best books published in 2015

By: Tammy February
14 December 2015
We highlight the must-reads we loved this year.
1
Former Mail & Guardian editor and now editor-in-chief of City Press Ferial Haffajee has an impressive CV and a powerful voice in media. And she’s not afraid to question that which has become taboo in a racially mapped South African context.

2
This is a page turner with the sense of a cold undertow pulling at the reader from the very first page, the skill with which the author weaves it all together is impressive.

Read our full review here.

3
There is nothing little about A Little Life; it’s an achingly beautiful tale of epic proportions which forces you to find meaning in life and appreciate the people in it.

Here’s what we thought of the book.

4
Kazuo Ishiguro’s distinctive prose creates tension and menace without ever losing the humanity of his two protagonists, who are more than they seem, but remain the touching point through which we see a world not quite like ours.

5
If you frequent Twitter and have a healthy interest in politics, you’ll know the razor-sharp wit of Rebecca Davis. Her sardonic sense of humour and unique political and pop culture observations are entertaining as hell.

Here’s why we love her book so much.

6
On the one hand, you have a narrator trying to convince you of something that should not be possible – the existence of something that shouldn’t be – but on the other hand, you have medical reports detailing the fragile and overwrought mind of someone with massive trauma.

Made you curious, didn’t we?

7
In this claustrophobic space where survival suddenly depends on the relationships you have with the people around you, all the little details of human interaction have ripple effects – an act of kindness, a rude word, a glance that lasts too long.

Why Under Ground by S.L. Grey is one of the most gripping books of the year.

8
Recipes for Love and Murder is a true literary adventure with a delightful South African flair. The book is clever and original, as it includes a list of recipes which are guaranteed to solve any problem, among the host of clues, which makes it an immersive whodunit.

More on what we thought of the book, here.

Forgotten princesses - why is no one talking about these upcoming royal weddings? Princess Eugenie and Charlotte Casiraghi are both (presumably) choosing wedding dresses as we speak, but mum's the word. Here's the low-down.

I styled myself according to Meghan and Harry’s wedding dress code Our fashion and beauty editor has invited herself to the upcoming wedding of the year. Of course gatecrashing is not an option but this is how she's interpreted the requested 'morning coat' and 'day dress with hat'.
How 6 royal couples announced their engagements to the world So Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced their engagement, here's how other royal couples told the public.
If we could plan Meghan Markle's bachelorette - then this is what it'd look like Don't worry, no penis straws in sight.
Did Meghan Markle pay homage to Princess Di with this white beret? If it was intentional, the soon-to-be royal just nailed this tribute to Diana's iconic style.
We love how Meghan Markle keeps breaking royal protocol Yaaaas! This soon-to-be princess is setting her own fashion and beauty rules.
Harry invites exes Chelsy and Cressida to his wedding - what they should wear We would find it a little tricky to choose between revenge wear or follow royal protocol. So we thought we should help.
