Love Books and Modjaji Books take great pleasure in inviting you to the launch of Ameera Patel’s debut novel, Outside the Lines. Join us for a glass of wine and snacks to celebrate the publication of her novel.
Bontle Senne will be in conversation with Ameera Patel.
Outside the Lines is both a thriller and a family drama. It tells the story of two women: Cathleen, a troubled young woman living in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg; and Flora, who is the domestic worker at Cathleen’s house. Cathleen disappears and tensions and drama ensue.
Craig Higginson has this to say about the novel:
Ameera Patel’s first novel is edgy, witty, fresh, engaging, moving, memorable. This is an important new voice in the emerging movement of new South African fiction, taking us to places at once familiar and defamiliarised by the sensitivity of the writing. A vivid portrait of contemporary Johannesburg, wide-ranging, passionately engaged and acerbic.
Ameera Patel is is an actor who has worked on stage and in television (best known for her role as Dr Chetty in Generations). She is also an award winning playwright. She received a distinction for her MA in Creative Writing in 2013 (University of the Witwatersrand). Outside the Lines is her first novel.
