Bitches' brew

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £9.40
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Bra Zakes a former amateur musician, bootlegger extortionist, mercenary and killer of great repute, lies dying in his luxurious villa hidden away in the undulating hills of the Kwazulu-Natal Midlands. Beside his bed are his most trusted lieutenants, waiting for instructions on what to do with his crime syndicate once he is gone. But also at his bedside is Lettie, his former lover and mother of his only son- he hasn't seen her in more than twenty years but he intends to bequeath her a slice of his empire. That is, of course, after an old acquaintance, who is now the country's public prosecutor, has been dealt with interweaving history and memories in the tradition of village storytellers, Bitches' brew delves into the physical and emotional turbulence that characterises the lives and affairs of Bra Zakes and Lettie as they unearth a story that reveals character, conflict, principle and, of course, love. Bitche's brew is a dramatic and powerful masterpiece that conveys the turbulent revelations of character with a pervasive complexity that is both utterly absorbing and incredibly touching.
