The Story of an African Farm

I got this book a couple of years ago–the first edition, no less–and began to read it. The style of writing was good, but that's the best I could say. The atheistic ideas, the socialist tendencies, and the sad elements were not at all rewarding. I read the first half in an hour, skimmed the second half, and shamelessly returned the book to the store the next day. After my experience, I am not surprised that the author is so little known.
