BlackBird Books has shared a video of author Ijangolet S Ogwang chatting about her debut novel, An Image in a Mirror.

BlackBird Books, an imprint of Jacana Media, provides a platform and a publishing home to both new voices and the existing generation of black writers.

Ogwang was born in Kenya to Ugandan parents and raised South African, more specifically in a small town in the Eastern Cape called Butterworth. An Image in a Mirror is a richly told and deeply intimate African story about the becoming of two young women, who are the same as much as they are different.

• ‘Achen’ means Twin, or the eldest of twins. ‘But where is the other one?’ people ask. – Read an excerpt from An Image in a Mirror
