Description
J.M. Coetzee's powerful novel tells the story of a nation torn apart by brutal apartheid. In this gripping tale, an elderly classics professor recounts her final days in a letter to her daughter, revealing the dark realities she has witnessed throughout her life.
As she faces the true horrors of apartheid - the police harassment of her servant's son, the burning of a nearby township, and the murder of a teenage activist seeking refuge - the professor finds solace in the company of a homeless man who appears on her doorstep. Coetzee brings his masterful control of language to bear on this dark episode, creating a work that cuts to the very heart of human suffering.
