WHEN RAIN CLOUDS GATHER

Edition: First US printing.

New York: Simon & Schuster, (1968) dj. Hardcover first edition - Young South African activist and author's somewhat autobiographical first novel, set in Botswana where Head was living at the time this was published and where she eventually became a citizen. A novel which "dramatizes the turbulence erupting as black people struggle to find their own way after centuries of white domination." Although now considered a minor classic, it is rather hard to find in the first printing. 188 pp.

Condition: Very good in a near very good dust jacket (a tight, straight copy with a bit of fading to edges of boards, 2 chips to spine of dj, small peeled spot from sticker removal, original price of $4.50 still present.)
