‘This book kept me alive.’
Love and Fury is the compelling and intimate account of the life, loves
and furies of Margie Orford. In this brave memoir, the renowned South African
crime writer divulges some of the harrowing experiences that have shaped her
life and influenced her writing.
Through sexual assault, divorce, depression and personal loss, Orford
illuminates the trauma she has navigated. Tender and courageous chapters
vividly recall memories of what she has been through as a woman, mother,
wife, feminist and ambitious writer.

and debilitating effect on women’s lives. It also unpacks the healing power
of love, creativity, courage and self-reflection, ultimately offering a profound
message of hope and joy for any woman who has ever questioned themselves,
their trauma and who they are in the world.
This book is every woman’s love and fury.
