Chipiwa's Cry, (Paperback)

In the 1970s crucible of post-colonial Rhodesia, two young lives ignite a love that breaks every taboo of their divided world. Under threat from the militant black independence movement, whites fear losing their comfortable lifestyles, while blacks struggle for a piece of the action. <p></p>Against this turbulent backdrop Paul, the white privileged son of a right-wing farmer, and Chipiwa, the daughter of black farm labourers, find solace and belonging in each other's arms, risking all for a sliver of happiness across the colour bar.<p></p>Their paths are brutally wrenched apart by the escalating bush war. Paul is bound by family and country and enlists in the Rhodesian Defence Force; Chipiwa is forced to navigate a society that denies her agency and worth and joins the rebel independence movement.<p></p>The lovers become enemies in a war that will pit loyalty against love, history against hope, until the riveting showdown.<p></p>CHIPIWA'S CRY bears witness to love's fragility amid the harrowing choices of war and the divisions carved by race, privilege and betrayal. <p></p><p></p>
