Originally published in 1948, this 1959 Penguin paperback has seen better days and has several loose pages.

The novel, subtitled "A Story of Comfort in Desolation", relates the story of a black South African, Absalom Kumalo, who has murdered a white man. This situation is Paton’s basis for examining aspects of guilt, both Kumalo’s personal guilt and responsibility and the collective guilt of a society that creates such disparity in living conditions, largely through the eyes of Absalom's father, a Zulu pastor.
