Description
The Convert by Danai Gurira tells the story of a young Shona girl who escapes an arranged marriage by converting to Christianity. She becomes a servant and student to an African Evangelical, but is forced to choose between her family's traditions and her newfound faith as anti-European sentiments spread throughout the native population.
As tensions rise, she must navigate the complexities of her new identity and the expectations of those around her. This powerful exploration of cultural identity, faith, and belonging is a thought-provoking and deeply moving novel.
Paperback, 112 pages, published June 2022 by Bloomsbury Academic.
