"A riveting history of South Africa and a penetrating portrait of a courageous woman." -- The New Yorker A must read fiction of South Africa from the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature This is the moving story of the unforgettable Rosa Burger, a young woman from South Africa cast in the mold of a revolutionary tradition. Rosa tries to uphold her heritage handed on by martyred parents while still carving out a sense of self. Although it is wholly of today, Burger's Daughter can be compared to those 19th century Russian classics that make a certain time and place come alive, and yet stand as universal celebrations of the human spirit. Nadine Gordimer, winner of the 1991 Nobel Prize in Literature, was born and lives in South Africa.

Irving podobne ako v iných románoch excelentne zaznamenáva nuansy bizarného rodinného života súrodencov Berryovcov – homosexuála Franka, Franny a Johna spojených incestným vzťahov, trpaslíčky Lilly s literárnym talentom a kurióznej postavičky Vajca.
