Book Synopsis
Set against the escalating violence of the last years of the Apartheid regime, Safe Houses tells the story of three families – the Sibiyas, the Singers, the Sterns – who are inextricably bound by love and hate, hope and betrayal. Ruth and Lola are drawn into the struggle against Apartheid, but feel marginal: it is difficult to find solutions when one is part of the problem. Can love and hope survive an evil political system that indiscriminately devours both the guilty and the innocent?

Trade Review
"The paroxysms of South Africa have thrown this writer with her insights tried in the fire and her doggedly compassionate voice, on to our shores, and that is our good fortune. Let's hope we know how to listen." --Kate Veitch, "Australian Book Review"
