[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“A Bend in the River,” VS Naipaul. A classic. Takes place in an unnamed East African country. “Out of Africa,” Isak Dinesen. Another classic. Lyrical, beautiful, slow—a very specific lens/memoir of running a coffee farm in East Africa. “Scatterlings,” Resoketswe Manenzhe. Also newer, about 1920s South Africa. Lovely. Sad. “Hungry Ghosts,” Kevin Jared Hosein. A newer book about Trinidad in the 1940s. Any JM Coetzee book. I liked “Disgrace” quite a bit. [/quote] Thank you! I've read Naipaul, Dinesen, and Coetzee, but Scatterlings and Hungry Ghosts were just what I'm looking for. Scatterlings is on sale for 1.99 on kindle today, so I bought it. Put Hungry Ghosts on my wishlist for when I'm ready. Oh, and I loved Nadine Gordimer's July's People. I'll have to try some of her others. [/quote]
