Join Jonathan Ball Publishers and The Book Lounge for the launch of The Inheritors by Eve Fairbanks.

Fairbanks is a former political writer for The New Republic. Her work focuses on change: in cities, countries, landscapes, morals, values, and our ideas of ourselves. She has been published in The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Guardian, among other outlets. Born in Washington, DC, United States, and raised in Virginia, she’s lived in Johannesburg for 13 years. The Inheritors is her first book.

A dozen years in the making, The Inheritors weaves together the stories of three ordinary South Africans over five tumultuous decades in a sweeping and exquisite look at what really happens when a country resolves to end white supremacy.

‘Many times while reading this book you will stop, shiver, shake your head, and sigh. Lyrical, deep, chilling, and prescient, this is a book we will be talking about for years to come.’ – Justice Malala

Fairbanks will be in discussion with Wamuwi Mbao.
