Yvonne Walus (Books)

Yvonne Walus Books

Yvonne Walus writes crime fiction set in South Africa, believing it to be a misunderstood country. She aims to transport readers, allowing them to smell the red dust of the continent and fall in love with Africa as she did upon her first visit as a teenager. Through her novels, Yvonne illustrates that South African people, despite a recent history of discrimination, are fundamentally like any other people – neither worse nor better, simply human.
