The Fifth Mrs Brink is Karina M Szczureks memoir of her life before, during and after her marriage to André P Brink. Polish-born Karina was twenty-seven when she met the acclaimed writer, forty-two years her senior, and they spent a decade together. Here she chronicles their relationship, from their first encounter in Vienna, Austria, and moving across continents to be with each other, to finding calm and stability in their married life in Cape Town, and finally facing the challenges of Andrés deteriorating health in the last year of his life. This soul-baring account is also the story of two interwoven writing lives, Karinas burgeoning and Andrés in its final phase. It is a diary of creative dissolution and knitting back together, a homage to a marriage tragically cut short but also to a love to last a lifetime.

Karina Szczurek was born in Jelenia Gora, Poland, and lived in Austria, the United States and Wales, before finding a home in South Africa when she met and married the love of her life, author Andre P. Brink. She is a well-regarded editor, award-winning playwright and also writes short stories, book reviews, essays and poetry. Her first novel Invisible Others was published in 2014. Karina lives in Cape Town with her cat family, Glinka, Salieri and Mozart. She has two books forthcoming in 2017: The Fifth Mrs Brink, a memoir (Jonathan Ball) and Fake Lives, a novel (Protea).
