Willing to admit his guilt, but refusing to yield to pressure to repent publicly, he resigns and retreats to his daughter Lucy's isolated smallholding.For a time, his daughter's influence and the natural rhythms of the farm promise to harmonise his discordant life. But the balance of power in the country is shifting. He and Lucy become victims of a savage and disturbing attack which brings into relief all the faultlines in their relationship.**A BBC BETWEEN THE COVERS BIG JUBILEE READ PICK****One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**

Recensioner i media

What is remarkable about Coetzee’s vision as a novelist is that it remains intensely human, rooted in common experience and replete with failure, doubt and frustration

  1. 1/5 Anonym

    Den var väldigt dyster och innehöll förskräckliga teman, det borde ha angetts en varning då man kan bli triggad av boken. Huvudkaraktären är en 52 årig äcklig pedofil och utvecklas knappt alls genom bokens gång. Slutet är även det sorgligt.

    Rekommenderar inte boken till någon, den kommer förstöra ditt mående om du läser den.

    Det är liksom inget fel på ljudfilen men fy innehållet är hemskt.
