J.R.R. Tolkien was born in South Africa so i nominate 2 of his books:


* The Hobbit Or There and Back Again
* The Fellowship of the Ring

[Steph]

I don't know if this counts...I'm just finishing Barbara Kingsolver's "The Poisonwood Bible" & loving it! It takes place in Africa during the struggle for Congolese independence. Author is American though. Anyway....if it counts I recommend it for November. If not, I just recommend it! Haha ;-)

[Steph]

But Fellowship sounds good too... :-)

[Lu]

The Poisonwood Bible counts :)
