Finding Soutbek will be translated by Benoîte Dauvergne and is expected to be published by Les éditions de l'Aube in August 2016.

Publisher Bernadette Jansen op de Haar says; “It’s lovely to see Finding Soutbek, which arrived as an unsolicited manuscript in my inbox, going from strength to strength with this forthcoming French translation. It has been a pleasure to deal with Manon Viard from Les éditions de l'Aube about contractual issues and I’m looking forward to working with her in the future.”

Finding Soutbek, published in June 2012, is a novel about the real conditions that shape the lives of ordinary, marginalised people in present-day South Africa. It was shortlisted for the inaugural pan-African Etisalat Prize for Literature, 2013.
 
Besides being the author of Finding Soutbek, Jennings has written Away from the Dead (Holland Park Press, September 2014) and her work has won several awards including the Commonwealth Africa Region Prize.
