Salieri – André's favourite – and I are celebrating André's 90th birthday by re-reading my favourite of his novels and having coffee in his favourite mug. #AndréBrink #29May1935

André P. Brink – born on this day in Vrede, Free State, in 1935 – would have been 90 today. Beloved husband, friend, inspiration and literary genius, who gifted us An Instant in the Wind, A Chain of Voices and Philida, among many other book treasures, is remembered with love, today and always. ❤️
