I would suggest 'Burger's Daughter' by Nadine Gordimer. This book focuses on the life of Rosa Burger, the daughter of a famous anti - apartheid activist. It shows how individuals are shaped by their family, society, and the political environment in South Africa. Another interesting read could be 'Cry, the Beloved Country' by Alan Paton. It is a poignant story that touches on the themes of racial injustice and the hope for a better South Africa.

One great book is 'Things Fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe. Although Achebe is Nigerian, his work has had a significant influence on African literature in general, including South African. Another is 'Disgrace' by J.M. Coetzee. It delves deep into post - apartheid South Africa, exploring themes of race, guilt, and redemption. Also, 'Tsotsi' by Athol Fugard is a powerful novel that gives insights into the lives of the marginalized in South African society.

Sure. 'July’s People' by Nadine Gordimer is a well - known South African fiction. It tells a story about a white family seeking refuge with their black servant during a violent revolution. Gordimer's works often deal with the complex racial and political issues in South Africa. Then there is 'The Conservationist' by the same author, which also offers a profound exploration of the South African landscape, both physical and social.
