- “Fall of the Leaf is a sensitive and faithful representation of the lives of three white English-speaking men, from the war years to the present time. The epoch broadly covers sixty years of South African history; it encompasses the pre-apartheid years of English cultural dominance, the apartheid period under Afrikaner Nationalist rule and the succeeding years of democracy under the ANC government. The fulcrum and meeting point of the novel is a fifty-year school reunion. Fall of the Leaf is an engaging novel, honest in its reflection of an English-speaking culture which, for all its instability—its stoic values becoming increasingly outmoded—continues to influence South Africans today. It is bound to appeal to English-speaking readers, particularly, but not exclusively, of an earlier generation, and will speak also to all those who have, consciously or unconsciously, adopted homegrown English values, or the English language. The novel is written with assurance, affection and with empathy for those caught up in the web of life; and in its depiction of male–female relationships, from the latter days of school into maturity and beyond, reveals a sureness of touch that is convincing and edifying.” – Prof. Alan Weinberg, Dept. of English, Unisa
