About This Novel
This book is an early novel by Nobel Prize winner J. M. Coetzee. An old white girl living with her father in South Africa discovers something she hates - her father is having an inappropriate relationship with a young woman of color. She kept constructing fantasies in her mind that included getting rid of both of them, but in reality, everything revealed that the old girl herself wanted to have an affair with the family servant. This book is written in a stream-of-consciousness style, and the story it tells has no clear ending. Readers can only look for clues from the heroine's notes. The inner monologue of women blends harmoniously with the natural environment of the African land, making people extremely entangled but unable to stop.
