Need this for a South African Lit class, and got the book in plenty of time. Admittedly, I have not read it yet, but the cover art is pretty interesting. No complaints about condition.

Heard the author at a recent literary festival in Paris. He read from his book "The Cry of Winnie Mandela". I was impressed by the author's desire to write about the issues of women in South Africa. He wrote of reflections of Winnie Madela, her waiting, her husband's return. These, he says, are the pillars of South African women's life; husband's leaving (sometimes by force), waiting, and finally his return.
