” Gardening at Night is feisty, funky, and funny. And even in moments of bleakness and shock Diane Awerbuck’s brand of wry humour turns this unusual and amazing first novel into a remarkable reading adventure. This is a South Africa the international reader has not yet seen: the wood of smallness and ordinariness and quirkiness of everyday life hidden behind the trees of politics.” – Andre Brink
