London: Jonathan Cape, 1987. First British Edition. First printing. A fine copy bound in gray cloth with gilt spine lettering in a fine, pictorial dustwrapper. Both book and jacket are without blemish. This is the ninth novel by the award-winning South African novelist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1991. In her daring novel, Gordimer envisions a Jewish South African secondary school student named Kim, abandoned by her parents, who decides to rename herself "Hillela," joins the ANC, and marries a black man and has a child with him. She travels to Dar el Salaam, Nairobi before eventually returning to South Africa as one of the wives of a fictitious first President of South Africa. This book takes the reader to exciting locales, from the beaches of West Africa to the slums of London, and from Washington to the presidential palace of a mythical African nation. She has signed this copy on the title page.
