Description

Bukhosi has gone missing. His father, Abed, and his mother, Agnes, cling to the hope that he has run away, rather than been murdered by government thugs. Only one person seems to have any idea what might have happened to him - Zamani, their lodger. Zamani has lived in the spare room for years now, quietly observing the family's sometimes tender, often brutal life stories. He aims to steep himself in these borrowed family histories, so that he can fully inherit and inhabit their uncertain future. Through Cajoling, coaxing, and coercing Abed and Agnes into sharing their stories, Zamani seeks to understand the complexities of their lives. As the family's past slowly unravels, a deeper understanding of their present begins to emerge. Novuyo Rosa Tshuma's powerful novel explores the intricate web of relationships within this Zimbabwean family, revealing the resilience and strength that can be found in even the darkest of times.
