(publ. W. H. Allen & Co.)

An Instant in the Wind (Afrikaans: 'n Oomblik in die Wind) is a 1975 novel by André Brink which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.[1] Set in 1751, the novel focuses on the relationship of a white woman and a black slave.[1][2] Kirkus Reviews describes the novel as beginning with conflict, but quickly descending into "sensual, cerebral dialogues on love and personhood."[2]

Because Brinks's 1973 novel Looking on Darkness was banned by the Apartheid government, the novel was initially published privately for subscribers only.[1]
