Squashed in among the tarnished bustle of Earl's Court is an exclusive establishment. A club for exiles. The Hottentot Room.

Frau Katie - herself exiled from Nazi Germany - is Queen of the Hottentots. Now she lies on her deathbed while, all around, her carefully chosen subjects moan and sigh. Yearning for the past and their African homeland, they air again old arguments, dated philosophies- and gripe. Only the journalist Caleb Looper soothes Frau Katie's passion. She and Caleb will elope to Berlin together - her triumphant return!

What will happen to this little tribe when Frau Katie dies and English Rose - despising sentiment, welcoming change - takes charge? The Hottentots will be Hottentots again. What will Caleb Looper do? Will he be found out?

condition: very good (lightly yellowed pages)
