Klappentext zu „A Sport of Nature “
A bold, sweeping story of one girl's rise from obscurity to an unpredictable kind of political powerAbandoned by her mother, Hillela is left to be raised by her two aunts in South Africa. At Olga's she might have acquired a taste for antiques and a style of dress to please a suitable husband. At Pauline's she might have developed a social conscience. But Hillela's betrayal of her position as a surrogate daughter so shocks both families that at seventeen she is cast adrift.Swiftly and perilously, her life opens out. She lives as a footloose girl among political exiles on a beach in East Africa, drifting between jobs and lovers, and finally becomes the wife of a black revolutionary. Personal tragedy is ultimately the catalyst for her political development, leading her into a heroic role in the overthrow of apartheid.

Rezension zu „A Sport of Nature “
A powerful book ... the mature achievement [of] a fiercely intelligent writer ... grand-scale, rich and demanding New York Times Book Review Richly detailed and visionary, a brilliant reflection of a world that exists and an affirmation of faith in one that could be born Time A moving, powerful book that, in a career rich with distinguished works, could well be considered her masterpiece Publishers Weekly Gordimer writes with a relish that is sometimes wicked and an authority that seems absolute The New Yorker A valiant, beautifully rendered attempt to do justice, its heart unbowed by the enormity of its burden Boston Globe
