Chirere Previews Ngwenya’s ‘A Portrait of Emlanjeni’, a Novel

A Portrait of Emlanjeni tries to take a panoramic picture of this place from the unique landscape, the minds of the people, their rich culture, and the subsequent challenges that they face in the changing times in Southern Zimbabwe. It is a story told through a woman’s gaze, very sensitive to how women experience a landscape made by nature and men.
