3.0 out of 5 stars Captures Mood of Johannesburg, November 23, 2011
This is an odd work, perhaps because it is Gordimer's most autobiographical novel. There are few characters one can really identify with, but it is interesting to see how the author captures the disaffected of Johannesburg at a critical point in South African history. In sum, this is a decent first novel but little else.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good read but not her best, March 30, 2000
By A Customer
This is a good short read and well worth the few hours it takes to get through it, but it is an earlier novel and not one of her best. If you haven't yet read any Nadine Gordimer, I recommend that first you try "None to Accompany Me," which is excellent.
