Penguin Books takes great pleasure in inviting you to the Cape Town launch of Erica Emdon’s first novel, Jelly Dog Days, to be held at the Book Lounge.
Jelly Dog Days is a story told through the eyes of a young girl, Theresa, who grows up in the racist working class suburbs of Johannesburg during the 1960s and 1970s. After living in Turfontein, Bez Valley, Little Falls and Malvern, the family moves to Claremont when Theresa is eight where they seem to settle down. However, despite the household appearing to have found some geographical stability, it becomes clear as time passes that Theresa’s childhood is slowly being chipped away.
