Question? Can't remember the title of a book..............

I read a book several months ago with a synopsis like this:

A Professor in South Africa loses his teaching job due to an inappropriate relation he had with a female student. He then retreats
to his estranged daughter's home/farm in So. Africa and has distrubing
relevations and times there (for both himself and his daughter).

Has anyone here read this book and can relay title/author to me?

Thanks so much in advance. It's driving me nuts.

4. Thanks - and the funny thing was, I was trying to conjur up the cover

of this book and couldn't come up with anything. Thought it must be pretty nondescript and then when I brought it up on Amazon - it's a totally white cover with just the title across the face.........LOL.

NO WONDER!

5. Another good resource for "I can't think of the title" type questions is

the Book Sleuth Forum at Abe Books. Here: http://forums.abebooks.com/abesleuthcom

And the site's "Advanced Search" feature is a good way to find used books, cheap. Here: http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchEntry

For instance, there's a used-book store in Vancouver WA selling Coetzee's "Disgrace" for $2.15. Usually shipping is another $3 or so.
