"Harare Voices and Beyond explores the dynamics of love, money, family feuds, identity politics, false philanthropy, and respectability inter-alia. Two families’ 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."

I honestly can't say that I knew a lot about Zimbabwe before reading this book. That being said, the author did such a good job explaining the locations, the culture, and the people that I felt like I was actually there. It was a very moving insight into the common struggles of Zimbabweans. It was a little dark at times due to the nature of those struggles, but overall it was a compelling read.
