André Brink is one of several South African writers of international renown. The novel “A Moment in the Wind” is among his best. Its plot is simple: a white woman and an African man, by force of circumstances, are forced to make a long, extremely difficult journey through Africa of the now distant past. Gradually, love arises between them, which awaits a tragic end. Their relationship, purely personal, although with a social background, is depicted with great psychological depth.
