Leaving Oxford and the shocking death of her father behind, Koliwe travels to AIDS-ravaged Eswatini to take a job as an aid worker. The country she encounters is a far cry from her father’s stories.
Laura Fish’s latest novel Lying Perfectly Still is a searing inside perspective of the clashes between wealth and poverty, tradition and modernity in Southern Africa.
Laura Fish is an award-winning writer of Caribbean heritage, based in Newcastle. She is the author of Flight of Black Swans and Strange Music, which was longlisted for the Orange Prize in 2009. Laura is an Associate Professor at Northumbria University.
