THEMBE'S CLOTH
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Thembe is the unexpected daughter of Ellen, a domestic worker for Kristis family in Kokstad, a small farming town in South Africa. As Xhosa, one of the many black tribes of South Africa, Ellen and Thembe suffer the social injustices of 'apartheid', the government policy to enforce racial segregation and discrimination. As a white child Kristi is born to the benefits of that same system but forms a deep and enduring bond with the infant Thembe and see each other as sisters and equals. Ellen, tragically separated from her first born, Joseph, by apartheid rules and knowing heartbreak already sees the danger of this friendship for both girls, but particularly her daughter.As Joseph pursues his seemingly impossible dream, Thembe shows amazing musical talent at an early age and with Kristis encouragement, embarks on a sometimes difficult journey none of them expected.Thembe's Cloth is the story of that friendship, tested by apartheid and the transition of South Africa to a free and equal 'Rainbow' nation.
