Bones by Chenjerai Hove

"Bones" is a poignant and powerful novel set in a post-colonial African village, exploring the devastating impact of war and oppression on its inhabitants. Through the eyes of an unnamed narrator, the story delves into the personal and collective struggles of a community haunted by the atrocities of the past, as they grapple with themes of memory, trauma, and the search for identity and justice. Hove's lyrical prose and evocative imagery create a vivid portrayal of a society torn apart by violence, while also offering glimpses of hope and resilience amidst the ruins.
