Two classic novels by Bessie Head, set in rural Botswana, in one Virago Modern Classics volume.

In When Rain Clouds Gather, Makhaya flees South Africa and his past, hoping to find a peaceful, purposeful life in the village of Golema Mmidi. There he joins Gilbert, an idealistic Englishman trying to modernise the community's farming, and the two outsiders battle a corrupt chief, the weight of tradition and an unforgiving climate.

In Maru, Margaret, an orphan from a despised minority raised and educated by a missionary's wife, takes up her first teaching post in a remote village. Befriended by Dikeledi, sister of the chief-in-waiting Maru, she faces prejudice at every turn, and her arrival sets two close friends against each other. Together these books are luminous explorations of love, belonging and prejudice.
