The Glass Barrier, by Joy Packer

“This story has in it all the light and shadow of the African scene; it shows us the South Africans, white, coloured and black, as they see themselves. Lady Parker, who attended personally throughout the inquiry into the Langa riots (fully and dramatically reported in this book) has written an absorbing novel; it is her richest and most striking book.”

Published in 1961 by Billing & Sons Ltd. Hardcover, with dust jacket intact (plastic cover on dust jacket). 318 pages of text. Christmas message written in pen, otherwise in good condition.
