Book Description
Winner of the Macmillan Prize for African Adult Fiction An uncompromising novel by one of Africa's premiere writers, detailing the horrors of civil war in luminous, haunting prose In 1980, after decades of guerilla war against colonial rule, Rhodesia earned its hard-fought-for independence from Britain. Less than two years thereafter when Mugabe rose to power in the new Zimbabwe, it signaled the begining of brutal civil unrest that would last nearly a half decade more. With The Stone Virgins Yvonne Vera examines the dissident movement from the perspective of two sisters living in a small township outside of Bulawayo. In a portrait painted in successive impressions of life before and after the liberation, Vera explores the quest for dignity and a centered existence against a backdrop of unimaginable violence; the twin instincts of survival and love; the rival pulls of township and city life; and mankind's capacity for terror, beauty, and sacrifice. One sister will find a reason for hope. One will not make it through alive. Weaving historical fact within a story of grand passions and striking endurance, Vera has gifted us with a powerful and provocative testament to the resilience of the Zimbabwean people.

Book Description
Even monsters lock their doors at night. When society itself goes insane, when the priorities of civilization turn upside down and a violent revolution sweeps across the Empire, it becomes a lot harder to face your own inner dark side. But Norman Baynes, a human outnumbered in this wacky world of vampires and magical beasts, has been facing his second personality, Hansel Baynes, for as long as he can remember. And he's more than a little "away with the fairies". He's Norman by day. He's Hansel by night. He's absolutely sick! He's a notorious serial killer on a mission: write beautiful poetry and leave something good behind before it's too late. Will he be able to hold it together and evade capture long enough to finish his epic masterpiece?
