A review by mhs_197
The Story of an African Farm by Olive Schreiner
3.0
There were certain sections that were written beautifully. However, other sections were dry and difficult to get through. I did read this for a class where we close read some sections, which made it more interesting than if I was just reading this for leisure.
I also got so angry and frustrated at the characters at times that I had to take a break from reading, which I think shows they’re well written.
There’s definitely casual racism and antisemitism throughout the book, which is kind of to be expected due to the time period and identity of the author, but still important to recognize.
