A white South African family's life-changing journey.

Recommendation: July's People is a thought-provoking novel that provides a unique insight into the complex dynamics between races in South Africa. It explores the psychological and emotional impact of being uprooted from one's familiar life and culture, and adapting to a completely new and unfamiliar environment. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in thought-provoking and emotional dramas that explore sociopolitical issues.

Description

For years, it had been what is called a “deteriorating situation.” Now all over South Africa the cities are battlegrounds. The members of the Smales family—liberal whites—are rescued from the terror by their servant, July, who leads them to refuge in his village. What happens to the Smaleses and to July—the shifts in character and relationships—gives us an unforgettable look into the terrifying, tacit understandings and misunderstandings between blacks and whites.Nadine Gordimer was a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
