A review by shanviolinlove
The Conservationist by Nadine Gordimer
2.0
Barring a few great scenes and lovely metaphoric language, I am still nonplussed how this book won so many awards. A book mainly based on conversations can, indeed, have merit, but a book with frequent time jumps--all the while in present tense--and confusing dialogues with no entrances? Hard to follow. It was definitely a chore to get through this novel.
