Produktbeschreibung

In his debut novel, Claudious Chikozho delivers a breathtaking tale of big dreams, love, loss, tenacity, and resilience. In the late 1990s, the Zimbabwean economy starts crumbling, but both the government and the citizens are convinced that it's merely a temporary set-back. By 2005, it's clear that they were all wrong, and indeed they are in for the long haul - the economy spirals out of control, while the political landscape is dominated by extreme polarization. Out of brutal necessity, three friends migrate out of Zimbabwe in search of greener pastures, something none of them ever dreamt of while growing up. The consequences for all of them are far-reaching. Bucketfuls of Resilience is an insider's interpretation of the Zimbabwean crisis, which is presented in a light-hearted manner. In it, we are invited to walk with the three friends as they work towards realizing their dreams. They learn some powerful but moving lessons about hardship, success, and love. It provides many telling anecdotes of what it takes to leave one's own country and move into the diaspora; the joys and pains of being home and away from home. It show-cases the resilience of individuals and families being tested beyond limits, forcing them to find ways of weathering adversity and re-calibrate their own destiny.
