A Clergyman's Daughter [pre-order]

In this intimate memoir, Hannah Botsis chronicles life as a minister’s daughter in post-apartheid South Africa. Through the lens of her father’s forty-year ministry at a Presbyterian church in Cape Town’s northern suburbs, she explores faith, family, and racial privilege with unflinching honesty. A meditation on grace and belonging, this story illuminates how communities navigate change while wrestling with their complicated histories.

(To be published in late 2025 by Modjaji Books, an independent feminist press based in Cape Town.)

"A wholesome, spiky, comforting, challenging and very funny memoir about the extraordinariness of the ordinary." - Helen Moffett, editor and author.

"This family story resonates in its themes and its truths. A daughter seeks answers from her long-serving pastor father about God’s love in a time of apartheid. She finds answers in garlic polony in his childhood lunchboxes, in his single malts at day’s end, but mostly in asking from her heart." – Ufrieda Ho, journalist & author, ‘Paper Sons and Daughters’
