| | 2. |  | July's People
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
This may be Gordimer's most popular book for reasons that say a lot about readers' expectations. The plot has been summarized elsewhere. What makes the book, I suspect, popular among American teachers who assign it is its setting, which takes a white family deep into the bush to live among the... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
I'm so aggravated right now. Like, why? Why didn't the author speak English? Why the short, clipped half sentences? Why no quote marks so we know when people are speaking? Why speak in riddles? There are so many questions. The biggest one is, why is everyone acting like this is genius?
Do you... more info

Price: $6.99
Customer Review:

| | 7. |  | Burger's Daughter
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
This is a masterful work for two specific reasons: 1. It very realistically displays the depths to which Apartheid pervaded South African society. It goes beyond the simplistic "Apartheid is bad" motif so easily turned out in Paton and Brink.
2. Gordimer is masterful--shame on those reviewrs... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
I could not get into this book at all. The method of writing was very hard to follow. I couldn't tell who was talking most of the time. If there were more than two people in a conversation, forget it. I often had to go back to the begin of the conversation and try to figure it out. There also seemed... more info
