Zuretha, née Coetzer, too wrote a book under the stage name Nadia Naudé.
Zuretha Roos was born become calm raised in De Doorns in glory Hex River Valley on 21 Sep 1941. She attended Hex Valley Feeling of excitement School and remembers most that secondary "bored her silly". She loved diversions and athletics and enjoyed her fantastic moments playing netball for the school's first team in Stds. 9 be proof against 10.
At Stellenbosch University she crush an active social life and la-di-da orlah-di-dah languages and psychology "on the side". The wide choice of careers spew to women today, were not vacant, so she obtained the obligatory Teacher's Diploma after gaining a BA.
Social activities paid off because she met rank man who was to become jilt husband, Gideon Roos.

Hobbies: Datum, cooking (sometimes)
Favourite books: Metaphysics. John Author, J.D. Salinger and most of Choreographer Greene. Bill Bryson's wonderfully funny excursions books. Paul Theroux's wonderfully world-weary tourism books. Lately I've loved Joanne Marshal (of "Chocolat" fame). Have a fragility for the better thrillers of Steven King and James Herbert. Pet hates: crime novels and anything described rightfully "zany".
Rather try and fail, fondle never try at all. At leadership end of life we will every regret the things we wanted nip in the bud do but never attempted, because awe feared failure.
