"I think I wanted to like this book more than I actually liked it. I liked the elements of history in it, I really liked some of the stories that took place in ancient times, before white people settled in South Africa and shortly after they did settle. But the religious element of this book was a big turnoff for me - I get that it was a huge part of what shaped the country, but the long chapters on the Old Testament and missionary work just got tedious. I feel like there was a lot of repetition on the points around the fact that white settles had a covenant (hence the name of the book) with God to be the ruling race in South Africe. I think because it's such a repulsive idea to me in general moreso than because the writing was bad or anything. I will definitely read more Michener though, I liked the epic style and they way that he worked fact into the story."

"This was soooo long, but it provides a good background on the history of South Africa, which is what I was looking for. I don't know that I'd recommend it to anyone just as a story, though."

"The history of Africa from land-mass to the '70s. Loved the detail, the family interaction, and the insight into the political situations that have developed."

"An understatement of the truth would be to say that reading Michener is an investment in time. However, this novel is a must-read for anyone who wants to have a working understanding of the inhabitants, the history, and the culture of South Africa. From day-one to the date of publication, the people of South Africa are illuminated by consecutive stories of the period and the land. Everything is presented without bias and is brought to light by the words of Michener's prose. I read this book before a trip to South Africa in 2002 and it helped to make the trip more of an experience rather than just a vacation."
