Amid the turmoil of modern Zimbabwe, Abednego and Agnes Mlambos teenage son has gone missing. Zamani, their enigmatic lodger, seems to be their only hope for finding him. As he weaves himself closer into the fabric of the grieving community, it's almost like Zamani is part of the family.
Zamanione of the great unreliable narrators of contemporary world literatureknows that the one who controls the narrative inherits the future. As Abednego wrestles with alcoholism and Agnes seeks solace in a deep-rooted love, each must confront the burdens of history. Written with dark humor, wit, and seduction, House of Stone is a sweeping epic that spans the fall of Rhodesia through Zimbabwes turbulent beginnings, exploring the persistence of the oppressed in a nation seeking an identity.
