Nineveh 2011 Umuzi Books (Random House Struik) "Rose-Innes is a pleasure to read - inventive, intelligent and entertaining. She has a gift for precise, revelatory description that remakes familiar things in astonishing ways. In Nineveh, she has created a densely layered, totally absorbing tragicomedy for our anxious time and place." - Ivan Vladislavić more info...

Homing 2010 Umuzi Books (Random House Struik) "Perfectly crafted stories ... Rose-Innes is masterful in creating multiple universes, each of which stands alone. No story disappoints ... the intimate life of each character is as satisfyingly real as spending an afternoon with an intriguing new acquaintance." - Janet van Eeden more info...

The Rock Alphabet 2004 Kwela Books "... a book about puzzles, about signs, about systems of signification. It is itself a colourful and complex mosaic, too rich to be done justice to in a review. It is a novel to read, savour and reread." – Michiel Heyns more info...

Shark's Egg 2001 Kwela Books "Henrietta Rose-Innes writes an admirably taut, clean prose. Shark's Egg is a welcome addition to the new South African literature." – J.M. Coetzee more info...
