A Patch of Blue by Elizabeth Kata [originally published as "Be Ready with Bells and Drums"]

Vintage paperback with movie tie-in cover featuring Sidney Poitier and Elizabeth Hartman

A clean, tight and still unread copy with some mild but visible wear to cover; a few creased spots; nicked edges on rear. Reads like new.

A blind young woman momentarily escapes the sordid world of her prostitute mother when a young Black befriends her in the park.
