Easily the best debut I've read this year, Tshuma's novel is both hilarious and horrifying, filled with compassion, anger, and despair. Her unreliable narrator is of the kind that deserves to be remembered up there with Humbert Humbert. Kim Evans, Culturefly.
Bukhosi has gone missing. His father, Abed, and his mother, Agnes, cling to the hope that he has run away, rather than been murdered by government thugs. Only the lodger seems to have any idea...
Zamani has lived in the spare room for years now. Quiet, polite, well-read, and well-heeled, he's almost part of the family - but almost isn't quite good enough for Zamani. Cajoling, coaxing, and coercing Abed and Agnes into revealing their sometimes tender, often brutal life stories, Zamani aims to steep himself in borrowed family history, so that he can fully inherit and inhabit its uncertain future.
