A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Zoë Wicomb is a South African writer living in Glasgow, Scotland, where she is emeritus professor at the University of Strathclyde. She is the author of Playing in the Light and You Can t Get Lost in Cape Town (both The New Press, 2006 & 2000, both available from Turnaround) and The One That Got Away (The New Press, 2009). Along with James Salter and Tom McCarthy she was an inaugural winner of Yale's Windham Campbell Prize in fiction. Wicomb's fiction is taught at many universities in the UK, including Oxford and Cambridge, and recently York University's English Department in collaboration with SOAS organised a conference on her work.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Abandoned by her partner in Scotland, where she has been living for 25 years, Mercia returns to her homeland of South Africa to find her family overwhelmed by alcoholism and secrets. Poised between her life in Scotland and her life in South Africa, she recollects the past with a keen sense of irony as she searches for some idea of home. With this pitch-perfect story, the """"writer of rare brilliance"""" (The Scotsman) Zoe Wicomb stands to claim her rightful place as one of the pre-eminent contemporary voices in international fiction.
