  1. 1. Who Will Bury You?

    A Memoir of Family, Loss, and Resilience

    "Who Will Bury You?" by Chido Muchemwa is a collection of twelve poignant stories that explore the lives of Zimbabweans navigating pivotal moments of change. Set against the backdrop of Toronto and Zimbabwe, these narratives delve into themes of identity, belonging, and resilience. Readers encounter a mother and daughter redefining their relationship after a coming-out revelation, sisters grappling with familial bonds after a loss, and a young woman preparing to leave home while trying to express her love for her father. Other tales include a journalist's journey with her grieving mother, a girl destined to be a river god's wife who becomes an unexpected hero, and mothers confronting the lengths they'll go to protect their children during conflict. Each story captures the essence of what drives people to leave, return, or remain rooted in their homes.
