Rubendra Govender launches his new novel The English Major’s Daughter on the 13 July at the Member’s Lounge at the Hellenic Centre in Durban.
Govender’s first novel, Sugar Cane Boy, launched in 2008, sold more than 6000 copies. The book has been prescribed as an English setwork at several Durban schools.
The English Major’s Daughter, set in 1992, revolves around the lives of the Parker-Swanns, a dysfunctional English expatriate Army family, who settle on the south coast of KZN. Issues of family abuse and prejudice are candidly explored as the plot unfolds. The book will be available at local branches of Exclusive Books Stores and Adams Books in Musgrave Centre.
