Why read it?
1 author picked My Traitor's Heart as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is almost a response to, or continuation of, Marq de Villiers’ historical account: one young man’s reflections on returning from exile to a country that had only recently rejected Apartheid.
It’s a deeply personal work in which the author grapples with his conscience as well as the wider culture in which he grew up.
From Trilby's list on South African identities.
