New books: A breath of fresh air in women’s fiction

Not Another Samoosa Run!

By Nadia Cassim’ - NB Publishers

Johannesburg author Nadia Cassim is sassy and rebellious and her debut novel Not Another Samoosa Run! is a breath of fresh air in women fiction. The novel is about a 27-year-old psychology student struggling under the stigma of divorce in her close-knit Muslim Indian community. Her mother insists on finding her a new husband - even if it means orchestrating a traditional ‘samoosa run’. She strikes a deal with a young man: a pretend engagement to keep their families off their backs. But this simple ruse soon grows complicated because one of them is hiding a life-changing secret…

With a twinkle in her dark eyes and a swish of her shoulder-length hair, Nadia will tell you that there are things in her community that she is not pleased about.

Essential essential oils

Klerksdorp Midweek, Klerksdorp - This winter is the ideal time to rejuvenate your mind and body and essential oils can play a significant role in this process. These oils are extracted directly from the leaf, seed, bark, flower, fruit or root of a plant, usually via the process of steam distillation. Just one drop of these natural essential oils can provide powerful therapeutic benefits. Essential oils are extremely potent on their own, and we recommend that you dilute them with a carrier oil or in a product if you want to apply them to the skin. They can also be diffused into any space via a burner or diffuser.
