In early 1749 a white woman and a black man are stranded in the wilderness of the South African interior. She is an educated woman, totally helpless in the wilds. He is a runaway slave. They know only each other. At first their relationship is guarded, poisoned by the black and white in them both. But hesitantly there emerges between them a fellowship that engulfs their most private selves, as they face the long trek back to civilisation.

Product Description:
In early 1749 a white woman and a black man are stranded together in the wilderness of the South African interior. She is an educated person, totally helpless in the wilds. He is a runaway slave. As they face the long trek back to civilization, a fellowship emerges between them.
From the Back Cover:
&?Brink writes feelingly of South Africa-the land, the black, the white, the terrible beauty and tragedy that lies therein.&? -Publishers Weekly&
&
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize?&
&
An Instant in the Wind is the passionate story of an escaped slave and a white woman lost in the African wilderness, and the unexpected love that flowers between them.&
&
&?Brink describes &?calamities and absurdities of the apartheid system with a cold lucidity that in no way interferes with high emotion and daring flights of the imagination.&?&?&
-Mario Vargas Llosa, New York Times Book Review&
&
&?It is difficult to see how any South African novelist will be able to surpass the honesty of this novel or the real courage-both as artist and as [a] political man-which enabled Brink to write it.&?&
-World Literature Today&
&
&?Andr?? Brink has gained a reputation in this country and in his native South Africa as a novelist unafraid to tackle the controversial subjects of mixed-race love affairs and marriages, of the injustices of apartheid, or racism in all its myriad forms.&?&
-Book World&
&
&?The subject is important and the novelistic achievement impressive.&?&
-Library Journal&
&
&?Tales of upper class women and primitive men combating the wilderness are nothing new. But I know of no other as honest, as beautifully told or as sad as this one.&?&
-Sunday Plain Dealer&
&
&?An Instant in the Wind stands with the best of Alan Paton.&?&
-Cleveland Plain Dealer&
&
Andr?? Brink is one of South Africa&'s most eminent novelists. He is the author of seventeen works of fiction, has been twice shortlisted for the Booker Prize and is anoutspoken recorder of South Africa&'s turbulent history, from the days of apartheid to the present.&
