MEET THE AUTHOR: Anne Schlebusch

Although not technically a Woman Zone Book Club Guest Author of the Month, it was irresistible to put ANNE SCHLEBUSCH, author of Bloomer (Modjaji books) up on this site. At 70 (and a recent cancer survivor) her debut novel is fresh, fun and a bit mad. It features the lovable Maggie and her friends at the Hazyview Mansions Retirement Home, who collectively call themselves Invictus. We spoke to Anne at a Rosebank Writers event at Bertha House in Mowbray, Cape Town, and recorded it her so you can listen, and chuckle.
