Nadine Gordimer

Yesterday I started my first Nadine Gordimer book - July's People (#284 on the list). I don't know much about the uprising in South Africa against apartheid. July is a black man who works for the white Smales family. When the situation in the cities becomes too volatile for the Smaleses to stay, July takes them to his village to hide them. The Smales are a liberal family but they seem to be finding out that they don't treat July and his family as much as equals as they thought. This is an interesting narrative about the clash in South Africa and I feel like I am learning a lot.
