About this Event
Nyika I Love You is a poignant and evocative novel that explores the beauty, complexity, and challenges of life in Zimbabwe against the backdrop of the African wilderness. The novel follows the deep bond between Nyika, a Shona maid, and Joe, the youngest daughter of Nyika’s white employer amidst Zimbabwe’s transformation from Rhodesia through the brutal Independence Struggle.
