This Year's Black

Ronel Morgan had it all - a high-powered career in advertising, a beautiful home in Johannesburg's smart northern suburbs, a loving family and good friends. So why is she living in a shared flat in Willesden Green, and begging for a job as a temp typist? As she struggles to establish herself as an immigrant in London, Ronel finds out just how hard it is to build new connections - and how difficult it is to live with what you have left behind. Set in 2004, ten years after the end of apartheid in South Africa, This Year's Black is a funny, sad and surprising tale of a woman's journey to find the place where she truly belongs.
