Mushy Peas On toast by Laurian Clemence

I love to hear about South African books making a success and here's one that I reckon could be a little gem...

Mushy Peas On toast by Laurian Clemence

Here is the write up from online retailer Loot (See banner on the side of this blog):

Peas is a typical Jo’burg girl – she works hard, plays hard, and leaves a trail of destruction in her wake.
She’s a drama queen, with high heels and a soft heart. Just as life is going along splendidly, Peas’ long-term boyfriend (and possible fatherly candidate to her two perfect children) dumps her.

And so begins a journey of self-discovery, aided by a flamboyant Italian flat mate, an eccentric father and copious amounts of alcohol

Book details:
Laurian Clemence
Paperback, 272 pages
197 x 132 x 21mm (L x W x H)
ISBN-13: 978-1-77010-067-1

This title has had an interesting history in the South African blogsphere and the fact that its been turned into a book could be intriguing.... Let me know if you've read it or not...
