Ah, But Your Land is Beautiful

Prem, an Indian headmaster's daughter, sits in a 'No Blacks' library, an action which contributes to the formation of the Liberal Party, though the girl herself will suffer the consequences. A lawyer in the Department of Justice is caught with a black girl, condemned to death, and shoots himself - and the apartheid regime is strengthened. Families are split up; coloured families are forcibly moved into newly designated coloured areas; jobs are taken away; whites who protest are threatened and sometimes harmed. It is the first novel in a trilogy which will shock and move its readers.
