Nelson's dream

"Nelson Mbizi returns to southern Africa after studying in Britain. He is going to work in his father's hotel. In a different part of the city a poor mother dies, leaving her children alone. Nelson's desire to help them coincides with the arrival of Viki, a TV presenter. The story unfolds against a background of HIV/AIDS and government corruption on the one hand, and great humour and wonderful music on the other. A life-affirming story dealing with one of the greatest challenges of our age."--Page 4 of cover.
