Produktbeschreibung
While You Were Gone is the untold side of the migration story-the voice of the family left behind. In this heartfelt companion to Where Is the Money Tree?, the focus shifts to Miriam, the wife of Tinashe, and the children he left behind in Zimbabwe. While the world sees her as the lucky wife of a man working abroad, Miriam carries the quiet weight of sacrifice, survival, and suspicion. She must face the gossip of neighbours, emotional distance from her husband, the expectations of in-laws, and the daily struggle of raising children alone. From selling second-hand clothes on the roadside to dealing with accusations of witchcraft and the painful silence of unanswered messages-Miriam's journey is a story of strength rarely told. This novel explores motherhood, marriage, poverty, loyalty, and endurance through the lens of a woman who refused to give up, even when all signs told her to. While You Were Gone is not just a companion book. It is a voice-echoing with honesty, loss, and the kind of hope that only grows in the darkest places.
