Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Marcia Pullman has been found dead at home in the leafy suburbs of Bulawayo. Chief Inspector Edmund Dube is onto the case at once, but it becomes increasingly clear that there are those, including the dead woman’s husband, who do not want him asking questions. The case drags Edmund back into his childhood to when his mother’s employers disappeared one day and were never heard from again, an incident that has shadowed his life. As his investigation into the death progresses, Edmund realises the two mysteries are inextricably linked and that unravelling the past is a dangerous undertaking threatening his very sense of self. This September Sun (Parthian, 2012): • Winner of Best First Book Award at Zimbabwe International Book Fair 2010 • In May 2012, it reached number 1 on Amazon Kindle sales. • ‘As she uncovers Evelyn’s secrets in the diaries, Ellie is forced to reconsider her relationship with her family and also to reexamine how she lives her own life...it’s the personal moments and conflicts that drive this narrative of family secrets and forgiveness.’ – Publishers Weekly • ‘Brilliantly evokes the ennui of the pre-Independence settler community who measure out their lives in cups of tea, sundowners, and illicit affairs.’ – John Eppel
