Renowned author Rachel Wray Makutu is set to captivate readers once again with the highly anticipated release of The Listing. The novel promises to be a gripping tale that delves deep into the human psyche, exploring the shadows of power, relentless ambition, and the haunting specter of murder.
A Tale Rooted in Cape Town, South Africa, captures the essence of this coastal city. From its breathtaking natural beauty to its complex societal dynamics, Cape Town becomes more than a setting—it’s a character in its own right.
Through its intricate narrative, the novel navigates spaces where ambition knows no bounds, power corrupts, and dark secrets fester. Readers will find themselves immersed in a world where trust is fragile, and survival demands more than resilience—it calls for a willingness to confront the truth, no matter how unsettling.
With “The Listing”, Rachel adds to the growing body of African literature that has captured the attention of readers worldwide. African authors are redefining the literary landscape, offering stories that are as diverse and dynamic as the continent itself.
“The global audience is beginning to see the depth and complexity of African stories,” Rachel states. “Our literature doesn’t just reflect our heritage; it speaks to universal themes of humanity, ambition, and the choices we make when pushed to our limits.”
Cape Town’s presence in “The Listing” also highlights the power of place in storytelling. It’s a city that embodies contrast—where beauty meets danger, and where history and modernity collide—a perfect stage for a novel about ambition and its consequences.
“The Listing” is now available for preorder worldwide on Amazon. Scheduled for release early next year.
