Every Secret Thing Zusammenfassung

Every Secret Thing: My Family, My Country Gillian Slovo

This autobiography provides an investigation into the past of Gillian Slovo's family and country. Brought up in exile, Gillian Slovo retains the closest of ties with South Africa. After her father Joe's death in 1995, she travelled back to South Africa to piece together her family's past. As the daughter of two of the most heroic anti-apartheid campaigners (her mother was Ruth First, heroine of the film A World Apart) it is a story that intersects with much of South Africa's bloodiest history, and tracking down the men who ordered her mother's killing is only one of the painful and intimate secrets that she had to face. Slovo and her family were close witnesses of the events in South Africa over the past 30 years and are close friends of Nelson Mandela.

Every Secret Thing Bewertungen

'A luminous achievement' OBSERVER

'Wonderfully moving anger, frustration, and the hunger for sharing wash her pages, though they never swamp the admiration for her parents' GUARDIAN

'Gillian Slovo has written a brave book, as unsparing of herself as it is of her parents a moving testimony' Christopher Hope, INDEPENDENT

An extraordinary expression of the very nature of loving, which illuminates, with the anger and tenderness of deep emotion, that human territory we all occupy, and where we conceal so much from ourselves' Nadine Gordimer

'If it doesn't become one of 1997's bestsellers we can only deduce that the reading public has lost its marbles.' Dervla Murphy

'A brave book guilt, longing, envy are all present, but so are love, courage and stoicism in the face of danger.' MARIE CLAIRE

'An intriguing journey a fine book.' SCOTSMAN

'An enthralling story about the cruelties of compassion, the anguish of loss and the courage to pursue the truth that brings its own peace.' OBSERVER
