It's and Doreen Jarvis and her family have moved from their old boarding house to a more up-market Blackpool hotel. As well as trying to make a success of the new business; Doreen has to deal with the problems faced by her five children; who are all growing up and looking for a life of their own. The eldest; Veronica; is desperately searching for her Mr Right; but is she looking too hard? After a series of disappointments; happiness seems set to elude her. Meanwhile her rebellious sister; Teresa; is determined to make the most of the liberal 'swinging sixties' scene; but she finds herself out of her depth when her headstrong behaviour lands her in trouble. Then Doreen's eldest son; Paul; reveals a secret that challenges all their values and threatens to tear the family apart.

Author: A.C. Jordan  Publisher: Ad Donker Publishers () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good. Cover edges and corners a bit worn. Binding: Softcover Pages: 285 Dimensions: 22 x 15 x 2 cm +++ by A.C. Jordan +++ The Wrath of the Ancestors It is the story of Jongilanga, a young, modern man who goes to the University College of Fort Hare and who, unknown to even himself, is the heir to the Mpondomise throne. Identified by a tribal elder, he leaves Fort Hare, before he has completed his studies to challenge a corrupt uncle who thought he would become the new king. Jongilanga becomes King of the Mpondomise but his progressive ideas prove to be too far ahead for most of his people, enabling his uncle to lead a revolt against him. Jongilanga's life ends tragically and prematurely but, eventually, his uncle also has to flee. Jordan does not pass judgement, but through the lives of ordinary and ambitious people he contrasts Christian converts with those holding traditional beliefs, school people with 'red ochre' people, boarding school activities with the assembly at the royal palace. One of the central themes of the novel is cultural conflict between the more western way of life and African customs and traditions.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
