- Summary:
- An unforgettable picture of contemporary Zimbabwe seen from the perspective of an African woman returning to her country after many years of living in the West. Sekai Nzenza-Shand captures the texture of life in an African village--mourning rituals, village courts, polygamy, traditional beliefs about fertility, ancestral spirits and witchcraft. She also offers a moving account of the impact of AIDS on her family, deforestation, drought, and the breakdown of traditional structures.
