Beschreibung

A man and a boy arrive in a new land. The man catches sight of a woman he is certain is the boy's mother, and persuades her to assume the role. The boy is an exceptional child, but the school authorities insist he be sent to a special school far away, so the trio flees across the mountains. This is a profound, beautiful and surprising novel from Booker Prize and Nobel Prize winner, J.M. Coetzee.
