Winner of the Booker Prize, CNA Prize, The Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize.
A novel about a shift in the balance of power in a country and that within a man. The man is a disgraced scholar who through personal circumstance is forced to temporarily leave behind the protected life he knew. What he discovers is that beyond the safe life he once lead, a country with a changing face lies waiting for him, like an adder with venom that seeks to destroy his uncompromising soul.
After a savage attack on him and his daughter David Lurie realises there could never be a return to life as it was-not for him, nor for a nation in the flux of a collective paradigm shift.
An unforgettable novel.
