You can taste the tang of the Atlantic as your toes burrow into the warm sand at Camps Bay. Your eyes hurt from the dizzying brightness of the colourful Bo Kaap houses.
If you've met and fallen in love with Cape Town as countless others have, and if you've since left, this book will definitely be your vehicle back in time.
The story of the city is told through the eyes and lens of Feinstein, whose love for the city is as clear as the cool waters which bathe its shores.
While the regular tourist spots such as the Muizenberg beaches and Table Mountain do feature, she sees magic in the most unlikely places, such as graffiti-festooned walls and on shop signs.
For those lucky enough to live in the Mother City, this is yet another ode to the beautiful lady. Enjoy. - Daily News
