The author's parents, Ruth First and Joe Slovo, were South Africa's best-known white opponents of apartheid. First was assassinated in 1982; Slovo became housing minister in Nelson Mandela's multiracial government before dying of cancer. Reconstructing their lives--often in jail or in hiding--their daughter (born in 1952) writes with painful honesty of the war inside her between admiration for their convictions and desperate longing for the normalcy and security denied her as a child. There is no easy resolution here, but great love and sorrowful understanding.
The New York Times Book Review, H. Jack Geiger
... while it contributes many new domestic and political details of the lives of her parents, Every Secret Thing is mostly about Gillian herself--and what it means to be the child of parents totally committed to a cause at whatever cost in danger, imprisonment, exile and family disruption.
