When Rain Clouds Gather by Bessie Head
3.0
If I were to give a more definite rating to the book it would be a 3.5 which means it is a good book. An exile fleeing Apartheid South Africa seeks refuge in a small rural town in Botswana and finds himself in the middle of a tussle for power and plans for development.
Set in the 1960s, during Botswana's independence, Bessie Head who was a refugee in Botswana herself writes splendidly of rural Botswana. I liked the way Bessie Head writes romance, her ability to incorporate the landscape, climate and vegetation of Botswana and the customs and general way of life of the Batswana in her prose, even though it felt like it got in the way of the story at times.
