| Summary: | When her Mama drops a bombshell, Chiante's world shatters. In Zimbabwe, bloodlines matter, so when Chiante discovers her Baba is not the man she thought he was, she flees. Seeking refuge in a secluded corner of Mutare with her feisty, stylish grandmother, Chiante finds solace in a sisterhood forged by bonds of war. This close-knit community of elders and ex-combatants are living their best singing, dancing, drinking and running a successful fashion-upcycling business. But at the heart of their carefully-built world are secrets no-one can give voice to. As Chiante pieces together the puzzle of her family's past, she wrestles with how sorrow seeps down the generations, and how hope survives all, obliging us to step up and live life to the full. |
