Official website of South African author Consuelo Roland, author of The Good Cemetery Guide and the Daughters of Limbo series. Discover her books, news, events and writing.

Consuelo Roland is an author living in Hout Bay, on the coastline of Cape Town, South Africa, with her husband and several almost-tame animals.

Ever since she can remember she has shamelessly hoarded glimpses of interesting strangers and random overheard conversations.

The people in Consuelo’s novels exist on the border between real and unreal. They confront talismanic forces as they walk a tightrope between their everyday lives and another hidden plane of existence where sex and death are the order of business, and secrets are currency.

Consuelo’s short stories, essays and poetry have been featured in The Sunday Times, South Africa Writing, Women Flashing, Writing the Self, Difficult to Explain, Twist, The Face of the Spirit, Africa! My Africa!, Heart of Africa, and New Contrast.
