An elegant and evocative novel about people, place and pests by one of South Africas most exciting writers.
Katya Grubbs, like her father before her, deals in the unlovely and unloved. Yet in contrast to her father, she is not in the business of pest extermination, but pest relocation.
Katyas unconventional approach brings her to the attention of a property developer whose luxury estate on the fringes of Cape Town, Nineveh, remains uninhabited thanks to an infestation of mysterious insects. As Katya is drawn ever deeper into the chaotic urban wilderness of Nineveh, she must confront unwelcome intrusions from her own past.
This third novel by the award-winning Rose-Innes confirms her reputation as one of South Africas most noteworthy literary voices.
