Lyndhurst, South Africa, is a declining diamond-mining town, much like Kimberley where the author of the novel grew up. As long-term business partners and friends, Mr Fink and Mr Gottlieb find themselves tempted away from the straight and narrow towards the devious ways of trading in illicit diamonds. In this compassionate and humorous novel, Jacobson reveals the serious themes hidden beneath the comic life of his characters.
First published 1957 by Weidenfeld and Nicolson. This is the first paperback edition published 1986 by Ad Donker, Craighall, Johannesburg. This title has been reprinted many times. Condition: Good. Some sun-bleaching on cover.
