This is not an entertaining book, and although it is beautifully written, it is also not a pleasant book to read. In picking apart the shattering effects of apartheid and racism on all involved, how could it be? The structure of the book - with considerable moving back and forth in time, and a very slow disclosure of the events that lead Agaat and Milla to the place they now are (Agaat tending a dying and paralyzed Milla, while interpreting her eye signals) - is extremely effective. This slow disclosure and the shattering bits at the end (don't peak!) are central to the incredible power of the book.
I could not recommend "Agaat" more.
