Book Description: When Rain Clouds Gather (1968), Head's first novel, is the story of Makhaya Maseko, a political refugee from South Africa who escapes to Botswana after serving a prison term for sabotage. He is taken to the village Golema Mmidi (its name meaning "to grow crops") by Dinorego, a village elder, who introduces him to people who, like him, are seeking to make new and better lives for themselves in the harsh, drought-stricken land. He discovers the love and goodwill in Golema Mmidi and accepts the new and hopeful life that the village offers, marrying Paulina [a local widow] and settling down to a quiet, apolitical revolution. © Gale Group Booknotes about When Rain Clouds Gather:
