Humane, interesting, thought provoking and often extremely affecting,
Stones against the Mirror raises, quietly, many existential issues of life in the world today, of relationships, of betrayal, memory, cruelty, love and friendship, as few memoirs have done.
Described by Ivan Vladislavic as a “totally absorbing tragicomedy”,
Nineveh is the third novel by the award-winning Henrietta Rose-Innes and confirms her reputation as one of South Africa’s most noteworthy literary voices.
Other 2012 Alan Paton shortlisted titles include:
