Marli Roode & Giorgio Vasta

Edinburgh International Book Festival

Two defiant international debut novels which capture with searing honesty two cultures in flux. Marli Roode’s Call It Dog tells of a young woman’s return to South Africa, forced to confront her Afrikaans father’s dark past.

Time On My Hands by Italian Giorgio Vasta is a vivid depiction of the harsh realities of 1970s Sicily for three young boys. Come and meet two young authors with intelligent and assured new novels.
