Huisgenoot / You - 15 November 2012
Vele helde, ligte werk.
Philippolis se mense was keelvol vir swak diens
en ruk nou sommer self hul dorp reg
Dankie vir Starry Nights Karoo Cottages wat
akkommodasie verskaf het aan die Huisgenoot span en Die Swartskaap
wat middagete verskaf het.

Skrywer Deon Meyer besoek Philippolis
Two lucky readers and their partners joined South
Africa’s most successful crime author on an exclusive BoekBedonnerd
Crime Bus trip through the Karoo. If you’re a fan of crime fiction,
you’ll be waiting desperately for the launch of South African
crime-writing supremo Deon Meyer’s latest book, 7 Days. To
celebrate, two FAIRLADY readers and their partners joined him
during October for a once-in-a-lifetime book tour from Johannesburg
to Booktown Richmond in the Northern Cape, where he launched 7 Days.
Meyer shared his beloved Karoo and stories from his writing life,
and told about his new book. They stayed at Starry Nights Karoo
Cottages in Philippolis,
the Stellenbosch of the Free State and birthplace of Sir Laurens van
der Post, with a memorable Karoo lamb dinner in Oom Japie Se Huis,
also home to one of the finest book-stores in South Africa.
