How can you imagine the future when your story traps you in the past? Harare, 2000. Gabrielle is a newly-qualified lawyer fighting for justice for a young girl. Ben is an urbane and charismatic junior diplomat, attached to Harare with the American embassy. With high-level pressure on Gabrielle to drop her case, and Robert Mugabe''s youth wing terrorising his political opponents as he tightens his grip on power, they begin a tentative love affair.
But when they fall victim to a shocking attack, their lives splinter across continents and their stories diverge, forcing Gabrielle on a painful journey towards self-realisation. Irene Sabatini, winner of the 2010 Orange Award for New Writers, navigates Zimbabwe''s unfolding political crises, showing how the dehumanising effects of state-sponsored violence can shape and remake a life.
