An Act of Terror - Tapa blanda

"A political thriller, set in South Africa, laced with all the angst and pain and lacerating emotion that comes from attempting to intellectualise, and hence come to terms with, living in that volatile, unnerving, but ultimately fascinating land" (Peter Brown Time Out)

"An Act of Terror is the work of a sane, civilised, intelligent man- a story about events that are in the process of becoming news stories. Brink... is a writer of inspired violence, and his shifts of viewpoint are thrilling and significant, and deepy honouring the profession of literature" (Hugh Barnes The Times)

"This is clearly André Brink's tour de force" (Time Out)

`A massive apartheid thriller centred on a plot to blow up none other than the State President outside the gates of Cape Town Castle. . . Brink at his robust and imaginative best' - Adam Low, Daily Telegraph.

A profound novel set in South Africa that combines compelling action with an intellectual confrontation of the author's poitically volatile home country. A brave masterpiece from Booker Prize shortlisted, award-winning author André Brink.
