The Conservationist | 
panInstead of having a plot, this book analyzes Apartheid‘s racist policy, personified into one white man, Mehring. He is South Africa in miniature: entitled and privileged and ignorant of everything around him. He doesn‘t understand the black laborers who run his farm and underestimates the foreman who hides his intellect whenever the boss is around. While Mehring‘s family has fled the country, he represents the inevitable collapse of Apartheid.

Kalalalatja I need these travel bans to lift, so I can visit Holland 😍😍 3y
BarbaraBB I‘ll show you around when you visit 🤍! My son just heard he has been accepted on an exchange programme at Copenhagen university from September, so I am hoping for those travel bans to lift too. I‘d love to go to your beautiful country 😍 (edited) 3y
BarbaraBB @TrishB ⬆️ Unfortunately this means he won‘t come to Liverpool 🤷🏻♀️. 😘 3y
TrishB Congrats to him- Copenhagen is lovely, we went for hubbys 50th(when you could!). You can always come to Liverpool for a visit 😁 when any of us can visit that is. ❤️ 3y
BarbaraBB @TrishB I hope to! When possible ❤️ 3y
Hooked_on_books I agree about the gorgeous picture! 3y
Cathythoughts Lovely pic. I was in Copenhagen with my daughters a couple of years ago ... I‘d love to go back... it‘s one of my favorite places 3y
BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts Thank you! I‘m sure it‘s a great place for him to study - and for me to visit 😀 3y
CarolynM Another lovely photo. We were thinking about The Netherlands for our next OS trip before last year blew up. You're making me more and more certain that it's what I want to do when we can travel again. Fabulous news for your son! Copenhagen was part of our last OS trip and it was wonderful. I'd love to go back too @Cathythoughts 3y
BarbaraBB @CarolynM My pictured are mostly taken while walking across Amsterdam so it‘s a bit biased but if you decide to come I can of course help you with my suggestions. Hopefully traveling will be possible again before too long. And I loved Copenhagen too ❤️ 3y
