‘A terrific collection’ – Monica Ali, author of Brick Lane & Love Marriage

A Most Anticipated Title for Oprah Daily, Essence, BuzzFeed, The Millions & Brittle Paper

Full of heart & humour, Gothataone Moeng’s first collection, set between the rural village of Serowe & the thrumming capital city of Gaborone, captures a chorus of voices from a country in flux.

Meet a young woman who has worn the same mourning clothes for almost a year, & a teenage girl who shies away from the room where her once vibrant aunt lies dying. Elsewhere, watch as a younger sister hides her romantic exploits from her family while her older brother openly flaunts his infidelities, & a traveller returns home laden with confusion & shame.

Moeng, part of a new generation of writers coming out of Africa whose work is exploding onto the literary scene, offers us an insight into communities, experiences & landscapes through these cinematic stories peopled with unforgettable female protagonists.

‘A good short story is a bit of alchemy, showing us so much in so few pages. Gothataone Moeng’s debut collection does this over & over.’ Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind
