O książce (sprzedawany tu egzemplarz jest w języku niemieckim)

First published in 1952, "Mittee" was an international bestseller. Set in late nineteenth-century Transvaal, it dramatizes the intense, ambiguous love-hate relationship between Selina, a young coloured servant girl, and her privileged white mistress, Mittee, and explores the roles forced upon the two women, fierce rivals for the attentions of the same man. Juxtaposing violence and sexuality the author crosses gender and racial boundaries in this powerful exposure of a patriarchal, puritanical and divided society. This novel comes with an outstanding analysis and afterword by the Nobel Prize Winner, J.M. Coetzee.

Opinia czytelnika

This is a fantastic tale of two young women - thoroughly engaging. Anyone who wants to learn about what it was like to live in Apartheid South Africa should read this book, however it would appeal to any young woman who knows what it is to have friendship. Despite the author being my grandmother - I can honestly recommend this book to all ages. It is a wonderful piece of fiction that is not to be missed!
