5.0 out of 5 stars
Incredibly moving; an instant classic,
By A Customer
This review is from: White Lightning (Hardcover)
Here in Canada Justin Cartwright is just becoming known. This isa wonderful book, and confirms his status as one of the best writers in the world. It is the story of one man and his consideration of his life, his loves, his failures as he contemplates his mother's death in South Africa. This is post-apartheid fiction of the highest level. It;s also funny, humane and a great read.

warm memories of the Cape,

This review is from: White Lightning (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful, well told, warm and desciptive story. JC has captured very well some of the hopeless aspects inherent in a post apartheid South Africa and frames them very well in the context of a South African returning from a previously 'important' life in London. JC also develops the central character enough to evoke an emotional response to acts in his life while the detail and observations are both believable and memorable. A superb story...

5.0 out of 5 stars
Instant classic, deserved winner of prizes,
By A Customer
This review is from: White Lightning (Paperback)
This is a truly great novel which repays the more serious reader. It is funny and humane and very moving. It is set in England and South Africa, and the narrator is a failed film director and father. The relationship between the narrator and the baboon is wonderfully done. Justin Cartwright's books are already becoming famous but this will have added to his growing reputation. READ THIS BOOK
