White Chalk

"White Chalk will blow you away by its honesty, depth and insightfulness. Terry Ann goes to places where others fear to tread. A memorable collection" Lorraine Sithole

Following on from the critical acclaim of Those Who Live in Cages, Terry-Ann Adam's latest book, White Chalk, is a collection of short stories set in Eldorado Park, the site of Terry-Ann's inspiration. Her sentences positively glow as she documents the wonders and sadnesses of everyday life. These rich and powerful stories confirm Terry-Ann Adams' place as one of the brightest stars of new South African writing.

Everyday life in these stories centres can be pregnancy, death, getting the fahfee numbers from gran, what to wear to a matric ball if you are from Eldos and you want to look like Princess Diana. These stories are nothing short of miraculous.
