Readers can win one of two books in the monthly Van Schaik and Grocott’s Mail book competition. All you need to do is answer this easy question.

Readers can win one of two books in the monthly Van Schaik and Grocott’s Mail book competition. All you need to do is answer this easy question.

Who is the director of the National Arts Festival?

Send your answer in either by email to editor@grocotts.co.za or put it in an envelope and bring it along to our offices at 40 High Street.

 

The first two correct entries opened will win one of the following two books:

 

Bring up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel

In 2012 Mantel became the first British author and the first woman to be awarded two Man Booker Prizes, as well as being the first to win with two consecutive novels.

Continuing what began in the Man Booker Prize-winning Wolf Hall, we return to the court of Henry VIII to witness the irresistible rise of Thomas Cromwell as he contrives the destruction of Anne Boleyn.

By 1535 Cromwell is Chief Minister to Henry, his fortunes having risen with those of Anne Boleyn.

But the split from the Catholic Church has left England dangerously isolated, and Anne has failed to give the king an heir.

Cromwell watches as Henry falls for plain Jane Seymour.

Negotiating the politics of the court, Cromwell must find a solution that will satisfy Henry, safeguard the nation and secure his own career.

But neither minister nor king will emerge unscathed from the bloody theatre of Anne’s final days.

An astounding literary accomplishment, Bring up the Bodies is the story of this most terrifying moment of history, by one of our greatest living novelists.

 

And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini

A deeply moving new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another and how the choices we make resonate through history.

A multi-generational family story revolving around brothers and sisters, it explores the ways in which they love, wound, betray, honour and sacrifice for each other.

With profound wisdom, depth, insight and compassion – and moving from Kabul to Paris, San Francisco and the Greek island of Tinos – Hosseini writes about the bonds that define us and shape our lives, the ways we help our loved ones in need and how we are often surprised by the people closest to us.

Hosseini, author of the global bestsellers The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, has spent six years writing And the Mountains Echoed, which Bloomsbury editor-in-chief Alexandra Pringle describes as "a big book in every sense of the word".

"He has told half a century of history, of a land and a people, through so many different characters, all of whom the reader loves and cares for."
