Gillian Slovo writes crime, political fiction and memoir shaped by South African history and questions of justice. Red Dust follows a lawyer returning to South Africa for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearing involving a former political prisoner and the policeman who tortured him. Every Secret Thing is a memoir about her parents, anti-apartheid activists Joe Slovo and Ruth First, while Ties of Blood and the Kate Baeier novels move into crime fiction. Slovo's prose is clear, tense and character-led, with political history entering through legal cases and family experience. Her work fits South African fiction, political thriller, crime and memoir.
