“This is a novel of enormous power’ New Statesman ‘Gordimer is a great writer … It is Turgenev that she most brings to mind’ — New York Review of Books

The Booker Prize winning political novel by the Nobel Prize winning author Nadine Gordimer

Mehring is rich. He has all the privileges and possessions that South Africa has to offer, but his possessions refuse to remain objects. His wife, son, and mistress leave him; his foreman and workers become increasingly indifferent to his stewardship; even the land rises up, as drought, then flood, destroy his farm.
