Beskrivelse af Harare Voices and Beyond
_x001C_ Harare Voices and Beyond takes us on a journey through the dark recesses of the human psyche._x001D_
%Sue Quainton, Bicester, United Kingdom A drunken confession exposes a dark family secret. Rhys appears to have it all. A white Zimbabwean living in affluent Borrowdale Brooke area he gets involved in a freak traffic accident. Therein unfolds a confession which unleashes a cathartic chain of events in the family_x0019_ s hitherto well-choreographed life, a family whose lived experience becomes microcosmic and an eye opener to Zimbabwe_x0019_ s seemingly closed, forgotten, white minority community. Through offering a rare insight into lives of the white community in post-independence Zimbabwe, Harare Voices and Beyond explores the dynamics of love, money, family feuds, identity politics, false philanthropy, and respectability inter-alia. Two families_x0019_ lives are inexorably linked in this fast-paced narrative which not only traverses multiple locations, but also juxtaposes the seedy underbelly of Harare with the leafy northern suburbs, and little-known Marina Thompson from UK Durham University all appear linked in a drama-infused finale that will shock and numb the reader.
