Chinongwa

Autor Lucy Mushita
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iul 2023
In the village where Chinongwa lives, her family, displaced from their lands, are very poor. One desperate solution to hunger is to trade young daughters into marriage. At first, to their shame, her father’s and aunt’s attempts to marry off their youngest child fail. No one is interested in this small, thin girl. Eventually, a childless woman, Amai Chitsva, offers Chinongwa as a second wife to her own husband who is old enough to be the girl’s grandfather. Chinongwa is forced to grow up very fast and rely on her survival instincts. She does her best to do what is expected of her and become a good wife and mother, but being very young, very alone, and a girl, the odds are stacked against her. Eventually, after spending her whole life doing the bidding of others, all Chinongwa wants is her independence. But how can one gain such a thing as a woman? Will she ever truly be free?

Recenzii

The story may be grim, but it has a compelling power. Chinongwa may have been a chattel, but she still had agency and voice. —Book of the Week, SMH & The Age


Chinongwa is undeniably a gripping story that evokes a great deal of sympathy for its protagonist. —News24.com
