In-between is where we live — and where we lose ourselves.
Winner of the Sunday Times Fiction Prize, High Low In-Between is a sharp, satirical novel set in post-apartheid South Africa. It follows Nafisa, a doctor whose life is upended by tragedy, corruption, and the shifting moral landscape of a new democracy. Coovadia blends humour, politics, and human drama to explore grief, betrayal, and the search for meaning in a society still finding its balance.
Perfect for readers of South African literary fiction, political satire, and novels of grief and resilience. Fans of Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee and Coovadia’s own The Wedding and The Reluctant Passenger will find this essential reading.
Rated ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ on Goodreads — “Witty, poignant, and politically astute.” / “Coovadia captures the contradictions of modern South Africa.”
A paperback in Good condition — moderate wear, all pages present and intact.
