Nadine Gordimer


About South Africa in transition. Mandela has been released but the new government not yet formed. Also the story of a marriage unraveling against the background of events in South Africa. Not an easy read, could only read a bit at a time. Full of insights.

Jean had read lots of this author and has really liked her work but this was difficult (as Caroline had said). It's about South Africa at the time of the introduction of majority rule. It was interesting, probably fascinating if you lived there. It's difficult to follow the conversations, as the speakers aren't identified. Jean was not engaged by it and could not particularly recommend it.
