Those men who are history now; did they feel like this? A 1950s
Hampstead pub; a freezing night. Lois can't tear her eyes away from
the haunted, restless African man in the corner. Over brandy and
stew, she discovers he is in awe of her friend, Panafrica's
greatest political writer and fighter. Their meeting inducts this
stranger, Udomo, into London's revolutionary community of exiled
African activists: the start of a life-changing journey. Amidst the
internal politics and love affairs, Udomo is inspired by other
leaders' independence uprisings; but when he returns to his native
land to overthrow the colonial oppressors, his idealism is put to
the ultimate test ... Inspired by Peter Abrahams' befriending of
future African heads of state in mid-century London, A Wreath for
Udomo (1956) is a radical lost classic, unforgettably exploring the
nature of freedom, power, leadership and love. 'The forerunner of
an entire school of African literary art.' Sunday Times
