Review
'A Separate Development is one of the best books ever written about South Africa' Peter Porter, Observer 'Hope's comic vision of this crazy and tragic state of affairs expertly brings off the difficult feat of providing both an entertaining novel, rich in lovingly evoked detail and character, and a profound political indictment.' William Boyd, Sunday Times 'A remarkable first novel... exquisitely funny.' Literary Review
