4.91/5 (11 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Alistair Mackay is back - and this time with a dazzling, poignant collection of stories that's brimming with heart.

At a family gathering in the suburbs of Cape Town, an unexpected encounter changes everything for Andile. Jeremy, reeling from the loss of his partner, fears he might be losing his grip on reality. We spend the night with Trevor, an Uber driver from Central Africa, as he drives drunk people home in Johannesburg, and meet unforgettable characters from New York to the Tsitsikamma rainforest, in stories that range from the past to the present, and our near future.

In The Lucky Ones, the acclaimed author of It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way and The Child offers us an intimate glimpse into a variety of lives and experiences. These stories champion love, kindness and connection against all odds, and will stay with the reader long after they've turned the final page.

"At once hopeful, melancholic, wry and insightful, Alistair Mackay's collection of short stories is beautifully crafted and stylistically innovative." - Nadia Davids

"Mackay brings to life the diverse anxieties and promises of South African life, love and identity." - Nick Mulgrew
