"In the Heart of the Country" (1977) is an English language novel by J. M. Coetzee which delves in the complex relationships that form between the colonizer and the colonized. It takes place on a desolate farm in South Africa told through the perspective of an intelligent yet meek European woman. She clashes with her father when he takes an African mistress, causing a rift that leads towards vengeance, violence and a muddling of her own relationship with the Africans.
In the U.S.A. the book was published as "From the Heart of the Country". A motion picture adaptation, "Dust," was directed by Marion Hänsel in 1985.
