Review:
?Head brilliantly develops ascending degrees of personal isolation, and is very moving when she describes abating pain.?-The Sunday Times
About the Author:
Bessie Head was born in 1937 in South Africa, of mixed parentage. Her first novel, WHEN RAIN CLOUDS GATHER grew out of her experience as a refugee and was followed by MARU and A QUESTION OF POWER. She spent the latter part of her life exiled in Botswana where she died aged only 49 in 1986.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Softcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Pages unmarked. "Bessie Head's vision of the separation of the mentally sick, and her ability to give mind-suffering a king of picture language, convey a positively medieval horror. She brilliantly develops ascending degrees of personal isolation and is very moving when she describes abating pain. Her novels, this is her third, have a way of soaring up from rock bottom to the stars, and are very shaking.". Seller Inventory # 2305110062
