Unforgiven by Liz Mcgregor
A searing, intimate memoir tracing the author's attempt to find out the truth about her father's murder.
This is a shocking story told by a searingly honest writer ready to look her country - and herself - squarely in the eyeIt offers no false cheer, but something far more valuable and compelling: the often painful truth. * Jonathan Freedland, Author, The Escape Artist *
Liz McGregor has always been a great journalist but only South Africa could have wrung out of her this single-minded account of the murder of her beloved father. The book is an indescribable duty, exquisitely done. * Peter Bruce *
Unforgiven is a deeply personal memoir, anchored in a specific place and time. Yet in its searing, unflinching honesty it transcends that place and time. * Prof Brian Levy, John Hopkins University *
An enthralling account of the journey by a daughter to meet with those convicted of her father's murder. * Trevor Manuel *
Unforgiven is a heart-wrenching and illuminating memoir of a daughter's quest for answers and the ever-elusive 'closure'. Liz McGregor beautifully excavates both the too-frequently untold journey taken by a family after a brutal murder and the dehumanisation at the core of South Africa's social and justice systems. * Kerry Daynes, author of The Dark Side Of the Mind: True Stories from My Life as a Forensic Psychologist and What Lies Buried: A Forensic Psychologist's True Stories of Madness, the Bad and the Misunderstood *
