In this delicious and devastating 1st novel, which The Guardian named among its ten best modern African books, Caine Prize finalist Tendai Huchu ( The Maestro, the Magistrate, and the Mathematician ) portrays the heart of modern Zimbabwean culture with humor and grace.
Vimbai may be the greatest hairdresser in Mrs. Khumalo’s salon, and she actually is protected in her status before handsome, smooth-talking Dumisani turns up 1 day for work. He’s as charming as he’s deft with the scissors, and Vimbai discovers that he means a growing number of to her. Despite her level of resistance, both become friends, and finally, Vimbai turns into Dumisani’s landlady.
The novel can be an severe portrayal of a quickly changing Zimbabwe. Furthermore to Vimbai and Dumisani’s personal advancement, the book displays us how social problems form the lives of people. However, by novel’s end, the set’s deepening friendship—utilized or embraced by Dumisani and Vimbai with different futures in brain—collapses in unforeseen brutality.
