The Thirtieth Candle

"Ok, who is this guy? You said he’s not married, so if you’re knocked up, you have to tell who he is," Linda insisted.

Thirtieth birthdays loom and soon there will be a "Thirtieth Candle" on a cake. Skeletons come creeping out closets, and author Angela Makholwa spins a tale that leads you to wonder how this birthday will end.

Linda has cast off yet another lover, while Dikeledi can’t seem to pin her fast-talking lawyer down to talk about marriage. Nolwazi has a secret – one she can’t share even with her closest friends, while Sade has found the perfect man, and a new life that will shut out the horrors of her past forever. Or will it…?

Linda, Dikeledi, Nolwazi and Sade are about to discover more than the wisdom that comes with being a year older. After all, they’re young, gifted and black in a booming new South Africa.

Author of the popular thriller, Red Ink, Angela Makholwa turns her wit and skill for page-turning suspense to the escapades and sexual misadventures of modern women as they search for happiness – and hope for love.
