André Brink1935–2015

When Kristien Muller, an expatriate Afrikaner living in London, returns to South Africa to be with her dying grandmother, she finds a country amidst irrevocable change.
André Brink was a three-time recipient of South Africa's prestigious CNA Award, and had been twice short-listed for the Booker Prize. He holds the dubious distinction of having written the first book in Afrikaans to be banned under its system of apartheid, his 1973 novel Kennis van die aand, published abroad as Looking on Darkness. "His first post-apartheid novel – a complex cocktail of myths, legends, magic, farce, politics and morals – powerful and enchanting." Focus
