Book Synopsis



"[E]ach story inventively unfurls a different desire, longing, or frustration" -- Jacinda Townsend, author Saint Monkey


In her debut collection of short fiction, Reneilwe Malatji invites us into the intimate lives of South African women--their whispered conversations, their love lives, their triumphs and heartbreaks. This diverse chorus of female voices recounts misadventures with love, family, and community in powerful stories woven together with anger, politics, and wit. Malatji crafts an engaging collection full of rich, memorable characters who navigate work, love, patriarchy, and racism with thoughtfulness, strength, and humor.



Review Quotes




"[Love Interrupted] gives a nuanced glimpse into women's lives a world away from many of us, but those women could, in many ways, be women anywhere. [...] Their authenticity allows the stories to connect women's experiences while showcasing the strength and resiliency of women in a system built against them. [...] [A] beautiful and poignant story collection." -- Shelf Unbound



"The unsentimental style of these stories packs an emotional punch as they examine post-apartheid patriarchy through the eyes of various observant black women characters." --Foreword Reviews

--AIMEE JODOIN

"Woven into the insightful observations on love and relationships is the omnipresent tension between tradition and the ways that being a South African woman today challenges previously held ideas about women's roles. Many readers will see themselves in--and find themselves rooting for--the women in Malatji's solid debut." -- Kirkus Reviews
