About the book

Synopsis

Ben du Toit is an ordinary, decent, harmless man, unremarkable in every way - until his sense of justice is outraged by the death of a man he has known. His friend died at the hands of the police. In the beginning it appears a straightforward matter, an unfortunate error that can be explained and put right. But as Ben investigates further he finds that his curiosity becomes labelled rebellion - and for a rebel there is no way back.

What the critics say

Excellent...[a] harrowing and surprising story. The ultimate power of the book comes from an authoritative meditation on the traps that open up for someone who answers to himself before society
- Scotsman

The revolt of the reasonable...far more deadly than any amount of shouting from the housetops
- Guardian

Impossible to recommend too highly
- Time Out

Books like this one succeed...in drawing our emotions into politics. What will remain is the plain bravery of his characters...their struggle has found an honest chronicler
- Daily Telegraph

Andre Brink's writing is built on conviction...A Dry White Season describes the triumph of tyranny
- The Times
