Come Sunday

In an instant beginning with the skid of tyres Abbe's three-year-old daughter is killed by a car triggering grief that will rip through her marriage her friendships her faith and her identity. Even though Abbe is now in Honolulu half a world away from her native South Africa she carries with her the lessons she learned from her grandmother's maid a witchdoctor who went into the veldt at night to procure potions and poisons. Abbe is certain she saw an evil moon in the sky the night her daughter died.


COME SUNDAY explores family secrets the influence of the past on the present deception and faithlessness. Morley seamlessly moves between past and present between Honolulu and South Africa showing ultimately the stain of white people on Africa. Like Alexandra Fuller's extraordinary memoir Don't Let's go to the Dogs Tonight Isla's novel shows an Africa that full of both hatred and bigotry and love and forgiveness. COME SUNDAY is an absolutely extraordinary and immensely moving debut novel by an incredibly talented writer.
