From O, The Oprah Magazine : Zoe Heller’s Bookshelf, December 2006
Burger’s Daughter by Nadine Gordimer
In this brilliantly realized work Nadine Gordimer unfolds the story of a young woman’s evolving identity in the turbulent political environment that has culminate in present-day South Africa. Her father’s death in prison leaves Rosa Burger alone to explore the intricacies of what it actually means to be Burger’s daugher. Moving through an overwhelming flood of sensuously described memories that will not release her, she arrives at last as a fresh understanding of and commitment to her life. Nadine Gordimer’s subtle, fastidiously crafted prose sweeps this engrossing narrative to a triumphant conclusion.
