Zenzele : a Letter for My Daughter by Maraire, J. Nozipo - 1996

New York, Ny, U. S. A.: Crown Publishing Group. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1996. First Edition. Hardcover, Cloth. Interweaving history and memories, disappointments and dreams, like the tales of the traditional village storyteller, this letter is a gift from one generation to the next. As her daughter enters a new world, a mother shares the riches of her own through stories of her personal experiences and those of her generation. She writes of Zimbabwe's stuggle for independence, and of the men and women who shaped it: Zenzele's father, an outspoken activist lawyer; her aunt, a schoolteacher by day and a secret guerrilla fighter by night; and her cousin, a maid and spy. Each parable is a shrewd and quite often humorous tale interwoven to form a compelling and powerful story. 194 pages, no marks or tears. Price not clipped. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. .
