Review:

Nadine Gordimer s work is endowed with an emotional genius so palpable one experiences it like a finger pressing steadily upon the prose. The Village Voice

A timely novel and a provocative one: a novel to enjoy and ponder, as its characters all do, the dizzying complications inherent in human choice. The Washington Times

I will always be grateful for the presence in the world of Nadine Gordimer, who has delivered in literature a South Africa most of us could not have known without her. Gail Caldwell, The Boston Globe
