PRAISE FOR NINEVEH

“Nineveh is an astonishing modern fable about memory, belonging, and the mysterious forces of nature.”

—Paul M.M. Cooper, author of River of Ink

“With its crisp style, infused with caustic humor, Nineveh places Henrietta Rose-Innes without contest among the most important voices of the new South African literature.”

—Catherine Simon, Le Monde

“Disconcerting to the point of atmospheric weirdness and as chilling as the best apocalyptic horror... a beautiful and disturbing mystery about what lies beneath.”

—Jared Shurin, Tor.com

“Nineveh is a sly novel. Never losing the ironic edge, Rose-Innes deepens the story and deepens it again, brilliantly probing the big question that reverberates through the book: who belongs? Rose-Innes’s writing is entertaining and subtle, a rare combination. Nineveh easily pulls you onward, until you suddenly find yourself in the tunnel under the housing estate, with bugs and questions squirming all around...”

—Steven Amsterdam, author of What the Family Needed
