Following in the footsteps of the likes of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie comes Novuyo’s debut novel and I love it!

Clever, ambitious and a very unusual approach to a historical fiction that leaves you so impressed!

“The wordplay and absurdist plot lines act as comic relief, but the author never lets us forget the serious stuff even for a minute, and it is this balance that makes the book work. By the end she has managed to not only sum up Zimbabwean history, but also all of African colonial history: from devastating colonialism to the bitter wars of independence to the euphoria of self-rule and the disillusionment of the present. It is an extraordinary achievement for a first novel.” Helen Habila.

^^^She summed it up!

If you want to know more about Zimbabwe’s complex and tragic history, especially from the view point of the Ndebele people....this is your book!!
