Description
A powerful and haunting novel by Nobel Laureate J. M. Coetzee, Age of Iron is a searing portrayal of life under apartheid in South Africa.
The story revolves around an elderly classics professor who recounts the disturbing events of her final days to her distant daughter through a letter. As she faces the brutal realities of apartheid, she finds solace in the company of a homeless man who appears on her doorstep.
Through its masterful control of language and profound insight into human nature, Coetzee brings to life one of the darkest episodes of our times, a work that cuts to the bone with unflinching truth.
