A Dry White Season by André Brink

4.0

A story of state-sponsored crime set amid the death throes of the Apartheid security state and the Afrikaner fear of losing power. The protagonist embarks on a dark, lonely journey for justice, and the reader's only consolation is the knowledge that Apartheid eventually fell. A story of bravery and a pursuit of justice, summarized by: “There are only two kinds of madness one should guard against. One is the belief that we can do everything. The other is the belief that we can do nothing.”
