Gillian Slovo Reading at MMU

Gillian Slovo is the author of 11 novels, including the crime stories Morbid Symptoms, Death Comes Staccato and Catnap, which feature detective Kate Baeier.

Her 1997 memoir Every Secret Thing: My Family, My Country recounts her childhood in South Africa and her relationship with her parents who were heavily involved with the anti-apartheid movement (her father was Joe Slovo, leader of the South African Communist party).

Ice Road is set in Stalin’s Russia and was short-listed for the 2004 Orange Prize for Fiction.

Gillian will be reading from and talking about her work, and answering questions from the audience.
