- Synopsis
-
A heartbreaking novel about a man
and his daughter, Disgrace is a portrait of the new South Africa that is ultimately about grace and love.
At fifty-two, Professor David Lurie is divorced, filled with desire but lacking passion. An affair with one of his students leaves him jobless and friendless, except for his daughter, Lucy, who works her small holding with her neighbor, Petrus, an African farmer now on the way to a modest prosperity. David's attempts to relate to Lucy, and to a society with new racial complexities, are disrupted by an afternoon of violence that changes him and his daughter in ways he could never have foreseen.
