The book was a joint winner of the Booker-McConnell Prize for fiction and is widely recognized as more complex in design and technique than Gordimer's earlier novels. Mehring is a wealthy industrialist who buys a sprawling four-hundred-acre farm just outside Johannesburg as a weekend hobby and tax write-off. Yet, his possessions refuse to remain inert objects: his wife, son, and mistress leave him; his foreman and workers become increasingly indifferent to his stewardship; and even the land itself rises up as drought, then flood, destroy his farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eThe narrative turns sharply when a black worker discovers the unidentifiable body of an unknown black man buried in a shallow grave on the property, transforming the estate into a site of profound reckoning. Written and published during the height of the Apartheid regime, the novel serves as a chilling, scrupulous critique of white colonial ownership, systemic racial extraction, and the precarious illusion of territorial control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003csection style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"color: #2c3e50; font-size: 1.5em; border-bottom: 1px solid #eaeaea; padding-bottom: 5px;\"\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNadine Gordimer\u003c\/strong\u003e (November 20, 1923 – July 13, 2014) was a preeminent South African writer, novelist, short-story writer, and passionate political activist whose major literary theme centers on exile and alienation under oppressive political regimes.

The plot centers on Mehring, a wealthy, white industrialist who buys the rural property as a weekend hobby and tax write-off.
