This beautifully written novel, by one of South Africa’s most celebrated writers, has an almost hypnotic power that draws the reader into one woman’s life. As a post-apartheid novel, This Life considers both the past and future of the Afrikaner people through four generations of one family. In an elegiac narrator’s tone, there is also a sense of compulsion in the narrator’s attempts to understand the past and achieve reconciliation in the present. This Life is a powerful story partly of suffering and partly of reflection.
