July's People, by Nadine Gordimer

For years, it has been what is called a 'deteriorating situation'. Now all over South Africa the cities are battlegrounds. The members of the Smales family - liberal whites - are rescued from the terror by their servant, July, who leads them to refuge in his native village. What happens to the Smaleses and to July - the shifts in character and relationships - gives us an unforgettable look into the terrifying, tacit understandings and misunderstandings between blacks and whites. - See more at: http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/julys-people-9780747578383/#sthash.W9TB5Jtf.dpuf
