Call it Dog

'A superbly written, intelligent, and powerful debut. Marli Roode is the real thing, and she's here to stay.' M.J. Hyland

Summary

Described by M.J. Hyland as 'superbly written, intelligent, and powerful', Call It Dog explores the limits of family loyalty in the face of a young woman's - and a nation's - desire to right past wrongs. Jo must decide: is she complicit in a killer's escape, or helping her father seek justice?

Report

Tells a story that is disquieting and compelling, announcing an astute and unusually gifted observer... Roode's careful scrutiny of character and motivation that makes what could have been a well-worn tale of post-apartheid inheritance feel urgent and necessary... a skilfully executed debut. The tone is consistently one of taut, sombre reflectiveness, with indications in Roode's artfully worded descriptions of the range of this gifted young writer. Guardian
