Well-known director and award-winning author Louis Pretorius, whose novel Kompleks won the 2025 Scheepers Prize for Youth Literature, is back with his second youth novel, ’n Jaar in my lewe.

In this gripping new novel, Pretorius takes readers on an honest and compassionate journey through the twists and turns of identity, recollection and growth. With his signature subtle humour, empathy and keen observation, he creates a story that will stay with you long after the last page.
