Description:
(Cape Town: David Philip, 1981) 0908396481. 8vo; original red cloth, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated dustwrapper; pp. (viii) + 271. Dustwrapper very lightly sunned on spine panel; some foxing to edges and endpapers; loosely inserted newspaper review of the novel. Good to very good condition. "Ah, but your land is beautiful is a book that jolts the reader into an unexpectedly vivid awareness of what was actually happening to the lives of individuals in South Africa in the 1950s. It is the first novel in a trilogy that will shock and move its readers in a way perhaps even surpassing the extraordinary impact of Paton's classic, Cry, the Beloved Country. Here is Paton writing at the peak of his powers." .

Description:
Cape Town: David Philip, 1981. First South African edition. Minor creasing to edges of unclipped dustwrapper, slight shelf-wear to bottom edge of red boards, and the book smells a bit of being kept in a shed but this should fade in time. But otherwise a good tight copy of this hard-cover book, a later novel by the author of "Cry the Beloved Country", set in 1950s South Africa. 271pp.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
