When Rain Clouds Gather
Author: Bessie Head
Publisher: Waveland Press
ISBN: 1478611677
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Rural Botswana is the backdrop for When Rain Clouds Gather, the first novel published by one of Africa’s leading woman writers in English, Bessie Head (1937–1986). Inspired by her own traumatic life experiences as an outcast in Apartheid South African society and as a refugee living at the Bamangwato Development Association Farm in Botswana, Head’s tough and telling classic work is set in the poverty-stricken village of Golema Mmidi, a haven to exiles. A South African political refugee and an Englishman join forces to revolutionize the villagers’ traditional farming methods, but their task is fraught with hazards as the pressures of tradition, opposition from the local chief, and the unrelenting climate threaten to divide and devastate the fragile community. Head’s layered, compelling story confronts the complexities of such topics as social and political change, conflict between science and traditional ways, tribalism, the role of traditional African chiefs, religion, race relations, and male–female relations.

The Clouds and the Rain

Pages : 71
Book Description
The Clouds and the Rain teaches us to understand the different seasons we experience. The major message this book conveys is how to conduct ourselves while burdened with clouds. Many people stress or panic as they do not know how to conduct themselves when they encounter clouds in their lives; others just dont know how to manage Gods blessing. A gathering of clouds does not discriminate or spare some people, no matter what their social rank. Everyone is vulnerable to this period of clouds, no matter how wealthy or poor. It does not affect only men and spare women, or old people and spare young ones. Neither does it come to the ignorant and spare the educated. It does not come only to the unbeliever and spare the believer, nor does it come only to the congregation and spare the leaders. The clouds come to anyone, at anytime, as permitted by God. This period is usually a sensitive one in which some people blame God for their situations. Many people get disconnected from the promises of God, leaving their blessings behind and walking without any in their lives. Nobody wants to experience clouds because it is not an enjoyable time; it is a grieving time, when you dont know whom you can trust, a time in which you struggle to believe in God. In this book you will learn how to develop your character and rely on God alone, not relying on people because of their influence or authority. You will also learn not to be the root of any bad circumstances you encounter but instead to strengthen your personal relationship with God.
