Un mundo de extraños retrata la fractura social del apartheid en Sudáfrica a través de la experiencia personal de su protagonista, un inglés que viaja allí por trabajo.
A medida que va pasando el tiempo, el protagonista se ve envuelto entre dos realidades completamente distintas. Por un lado, el de la sociedad inglesa rica llena de fiestas y cacerías; y por otro, el de los barrios negros, la clandestinidad y la desigualdad.
A través de las personas que va conociendo, el protagonista empieza a cuestionarse su identidad, el sentido de pertenencia y la idea de qué es lo justo.
La manera de escribir de la autora es impresionante.
