Sara-Jayne Makwala-King is the queen of Late Night Radio. She is also
the author of the riveting memoir Killing Karoline, which documents
her journey from Karoline to Sara-Jayne back to Karoline and then
finally - and triumphantly - to Sara-Jayne once again. It’s a powerful
and poignant story about an affair between a black man and a white
woman in apartheid South Africa, a primal wound, identity, adoption,
belonging, sort of belonging, not really belonging, rejection, loss,
hair trauma, the pencil test, race and racism. The book, like
Sarah-Jane herself, is smart, thoughtful and authentic. Sarah-Jane
gives us a sneak preview of the new book she’s working on … and we are
desperate for her to finish it so we can read it.
