She Left Me the Gun: My Mother's Life Before Me
By Emma Brockes
320 pages
A hybrid book—part mystery story, part memoir—about the author's mother's life in South Africa during apartheid. Brockes always knew her mother had a past, but only after her death did the author start to understand why she was always packed and ready to run in case there was ever a knock at the door.
