  • "Gordimer trains her keen eye on Steve and Jabulile, an interracial couple living in a newly, tentatively, free South Africa. They have a daughter, Sindiswa; they move to the suburbs; Steve becomes a lecturer at a university; Jabulile trains to become a lawyer; there is another child, a boy this time. There is nothing so extraordinary about their lives, and yet, in telling their story and the stories of their friends and families, Gordimer manages to capture the tortured, fragmented essence of a nation struggling to define itself post-apartheid."@en
  • "De blanke Steve en zwarte Jabulile zijn een droompaar. Ze waren kameraden in de strijd tegen apartheid en zijn nu getrouwd, met twee kinderen en een mooi huis in een buitenwijk van Johannesburg. Maar de dilemma's waar Zuid-Afrika mee kampt, hebben ook hun weerslag op het gelukkige gezinsleven: Jabu komt onder druk te staan wanneer zij als beginnend advocaat slachtoffers van corruptie en verkrachtingen moet verdedigen en Steve neemt na een wild bezoek aan Londen op eigen houtje het besluit om met het gezin naar Australië te emigreren. Is hun liefde bestand tegen de erfenissen uit het verleden? Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie."

  • "Un couple métissé, Steve, blanc, mi- juif mi-chrétien, et Jabulile, femme zoulou, vétérans de l'ANC, mariés à une époque où les lois raciales le leur interdisaient, se retrouvent en 1994 à Johannesburg dans l'Afrique du Sud post apartheid. Ils rencontrent d'anciens camarades et des voisins gays sortis eux aussi de l'illégalité. Les uns comme les autres n'avaient aucun mal à savoir qui ils étaient à cette époque, mais comment mener une vie normale dans cette société intégrée, après tant d'années de combat et clandestinité ?Depuis 1991, la promesse d'une vie meilleure pour tous tarde à se concrétiser et les inégalités sociales remplacent l'ancienne ségrégation raciale. Un roman passionnant sur ce que signifie être de nos jours sud-africain, avoir des racines et aider à façonner l'avenir de son pays."
