Charles Mungoshi needs no introduction to Zimbabwean readers and this, his latest Shona book is recommended by a leading critic of African literature as the most powerful use of the Shona language to date. The story is seen through the eyes of, and told by six of the characters and centres on the crisis precipitated in a family when their son Eric returns from overseas after seven years' absence. What are the chances of survival for the traditional African family against the fast changing modern background. What values do the old age ties hold? Can language, supposedly the supreme tool of communication, help to bring about understanding or does it serve to push people further apart? These among others are questions begged by this remarkable story.
