A Guest of Honour -- Nadine Gordimer

Condition : Good.

First British Edition, Jonathan Cape, 1971, Hardback with removable protective plastic wrap - African Fiction - 504pp. ISBN 0224005103.

Published four years after her novel The Late Bourgeois World, the novel is a political novel that explores the role of revolutionary ideas in new African states.

James Bray, an English colonial administrator who was expelled from a central African nation for siding with its black nationalist leaders, is invited back ten years later to join in the country's independence celebrations. As he witnesses the factionalism and violence that erupt as revolutionary ideals are subverted by ambition and greed, Bray is once again forced to choose sides, a choice that becomes both his triumph and his undoing.

Gordimers only book, not about South Africa.
