A passionate and remarkably brave exhumation of loves, hates and friendships
- Daily Telegraph

Elegiac, angry and earnest
- Guardian

Those who have never before opened one of Brink's books and wish to find him at his considerable best should at once read the first sixty pages of his autobiography
- Literary Review

Brink's a brave man, oh yes, and this is an extraordinary book because it combines, uniquely, angry forensic polemic with writing of the highest order
- Irish Times

Romanticism, often in the teeth of appalling oppression and tragedy, is the spirit which runs through A Fork in the Road
- Herald

A fascinating exploration of the white South African psyche
- Times Literary Supplement

It is almost impossible to read the last page of this impassioned, self-critical, open memoir and not be moved to tears
- Independent on Sunday
