What is In the Heart of the Country : A Novel about?

**A story told in prose as feverishly rich as William Faulkner's, *In the Heart of the Country* is a work of irresistable power.J.M. Coetzee's latest novel, *The Schooldays of Jesus* , is now available from Viking. *Late Essays: 2006-2016* will be available January 2018.**On a remote farm in South Africa, the protagonist of J. M. Coetzee's fierce and passionate novel watches the life from which she has been excluded. Ignored by her callous father, scorned and feared by his servants, she is a bitterly intelligent woman whose outward meekness disguises a desperate resolve not to become "one of the forgotten ones of history." When her father takes an African mistress, that resolve precipitates an act of vengeance that suggests a chemical reaction between the colonizer and the colonized—and between European yearnings and the vastness and solitude of Africa. With vast assurance and an unerring eye, J. M. Coetzee has turned the family romance into a mirror of the colonial experience.DDC : 823FAST Tags : South Africa, South African fiction (English), Race relations, Man-woman relationships, Fathers and daughters, English fiction, Farm life, Teenage girlsFilename : In the Heart of the Coun
