   Is Slovo a political writer?

   • Increasingly however, Slovo's writing adopted a political edge. Death by Analysis (1986), for example, situates the murder of a psychoanalyst against a backdrop of London's 1981 civil unrest and a legacy of betrayed 1960s radicalism. Other novels draw even more closely on her own political experience.

   What happened to Slovo after he died?

   • It is a battle which continues even after his death, as his long-held secrets are slowly revealed: the fake passport he carried, the love affairs he conducted, and the son he neither knew nor acknowledged. In her memoir, Slovo struggles with the tension between family experience and national history.

   How does Ruth Slovo feel about her mother?

   • Slovo admits to ambivalence in her feelings towards her mother, a woman whose ideological heroism on behalf of the wider South African family inevitably involved the abandoning of her own daughters. Presented here as 'both the best of mothers and the worst', Ruth Slovo epitomises a conflict between love and duty.

   What is Slovo's childhood like?

   • Slovo's memories of exclusion from her parents's clandestine and covert engagements, and of her isolation from their systems of codes and disguises, suggest a childhood ironically positioned between love and neglect, and propelled too soon along the path from innocence to experience.
