A Family Affair, the new novel by bestselling author Sue Nyathi, will be out from Pan Macmillan in October 2020!

‘A contemporary African saga that serves up all the ingredients: rags and riches, hero women, sex, the megachurch. And romance – so much romance!’ – Karabo Kgoleng, writer, broadcaster, public speaker

Nyathi was born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, and raised and educated there. She has a Master’s Degree in Finance and worked for over five years as a research associate for an economic and strategic planning consulting firm in Johannesburg, where she currently resides. The Polygamist, her debut novel, was published in 2012. The Gold Diggers, her second book, was longlisted for the prestigious Dublin Literary Award as well as the Barry Ronge Fiction Prize.

Fans will be delighted to learn there is not long to wait for Nyathi’s third novel!
