_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.
Autorenporträt
Andrew Chatora grew up in the dusty streets of Dangamvura, Mutare, Zimbabwe for which he has an enduring fondness. He acknowledges it is from those formative years he got his inspiration to write, and his humble upbringing engendered his groundedness and affinity for the downtrodden and ordinary folks. Andrew also equally credits his mother for being a great storyteller, who incidentally was the repository of his early story arcs. Chatora has published three novels and is currently working on his fourth novel: Born Here, But Not In My Name. Chatora's work is critically acclaimed for its depiction of migrants and the many challenges they face. He writes well on Black identity, the Black experience and what it means to try and walk straight in a crooked white world. Chatora's third book Harare Voices and Beyond was favourably received globally and selected for a Wayfarer's Intralingo book club nomination.
