BRINK, Andre P. - An Instant in the Wind - (Paperback)

This once banned book is still in a good condition but not perfect - Same edition Google image used.   >>>   An Instant In The Wind is arguably André Brinks masterpiece.  In the guise of an historical novel set in the eighteenth century, Brink presents a superb portrait in miniature of the dilemmas and contradictions facing a South Africa organised by an assumption of apartheid.  Unlike many stories of conflict, however, an Instant In The Wind is no tragedy.  Unusually, the novel is a remarkable tale of fear, struggle and eventual survival that leaves the reader with an uplifting positive message on the value and potential of human cooperation.  It's an historical novel, its a travel book, its a road story, it deals with relationships between consenting adults and there are several battles with nature.  And its positive. What a mix !   (Philip on Goodreads)
