A review by trisha_thomas
July's People by Nadine Gordimer

3.0

This book was interesting in its storyline - a wealthy white family is saved from a war by their African servant and he takes them to his village. The imagery and rhythm the author gives us to the village that they are taken to and live in is amazing.
But, I felt thrown into the story without some beginning information. the first 40 pages or so of the book I was still adjusting to the writing style and I'm sure I missed important stuff. The sentences are choppy and sometimes, in conversation, i had to reread areas to establish who was saying what since there was little punctuation and odd spacing.
I'm glad I read the book for the interesting story, I don't know that I would recommend it to anyone else....
