Description

Darling's story is one of resilience and self-discovery. Uprooted from her family home by paramilitary police, she finds solace in mischief and adventure with her friends in the Zimbabwean shanty called Paradise. As she navigates the complexities of life, Darling comes to realise that forging a new path in America brings its own set of challenges. In We Need New Names, Bulawayo crafts a powerful narrative about growing into one's identity, navigating global expectations and finding strength in the face of adversity. This poignant coming-of-age story is told through the eyes of a spirited young girl who becomes a powerful observer of her world. Through its vivid portrayal of life in Zimbabwe and America, We Need New Names offers a nuanced exploration of identity, culture and belonging.
