I wish there was someway to promote Zimbabwean literature in New York. I will see if I can talk to some friends to circulate my only copy.

I loved the fact that Onai's character bares a disturbing resemblence to so many Zimbabwean women that i know personally. Faiths character(and Emily's as well i suppose) represents a new woman that is starting to emerge. I stumbled across your book quite by accident but i'm very glad i bought it. Its a great read and i recommend to all African women, young or old, we can all relate. As an aspiring writer, I was inspired.

I liked the fact that the phrase or saying would be repeated in English for those who might not understand it all.
