A review by alicemalaika
The Conservationist by Nadine Gordimer

2.0

I don't really know why I just didn't enjoy this book. I usually like long winded internal monologues of unlikeable characters - and the setting of apartheid South Africa is interesting, especially as the book deals with race and class relations - again things I usually enjoy. I'm not sure what was missing, or whether the unnecessary constant sexualisation out me off, but I finished this book feeling unfulfilled by the reading experience.
