Synopsis
As the daughter of white Communists growing up in South Africa, Gillian Slovo had to share her parents with the fight against apartheid. Given the amount of time they spent on the run, in hiding, or in jail, she and her two sisters spent much of their childhood apart from their parents. While proud of their lifelong dedication to a noble cause (her father lived long enough to serve briefly in the Mandela Cabinet; her mother was killed in 1982 by government security forces), the author remains troubled by the toll it took on her family. The tension between familial responsibility and political commitment forms the defining motif of her striking memoir.

Industry reviews
"Although 'Every Secret Thing' is so intensely personal, it incidentally illuminates the final phase of the Struggle more clearly than many books written with that intent. If it doesn't become one of 1997's best-sellers, we can only deduce the reading public has lost its marbles."
Literary Review - Dervla Murphy 

"A tough, tight and somber book, one that asks most, if not quite all, of the anguishing questions."
Washington Post Book World - Samuel G. Freedman (06/08/1997)

"An extraordinary expression of the very nature of loving."
publisher's advertisement - Nadine Gordimer 

"Weaving the personal and political tightly together, novelist Slovo creates an incisive and unflinching portrait of her prominent South African family....She has covered some of this ground before in fiction, but what she discovered and recounts here has a strangeness and piquancy quite beyond her fictive powers. Not only does she track down and confront one of the men responsible for her mother's death..., she also movingly details the pain and the pride she felt growing up in such strange, terrible times."
Noll 

"A luminous achievement....An enthralling story about the cruelties of compassion, the anguish of loss, and the courage to pursue the truth that brings its own peace."
DeVries
