Produktbeschreibung

Akahlulwa thought her scholarship to Edenridge High would be her escape - a chance to sing, to shine. But at her new school, difference is punished. Mocked for her accent, her food, her beads, she soon finds herself swallowed by silence, her once-powerful voice curling back inside her chest. At home, her Gogo reminds her: medicine is not good or evil - it follows the hand that shapes it. When the bullying becomes unbearable, Akahlulwa whispers the names of her tormentors into the fur of a torn-eared black cat. And then the unravelling begins. A knee buckles. A boy sees demons in the mirror. Another wanders barefoot at night, muttering madness. But shadows cannot be commanded without consequence. The medicine she calls doesn't only punish - it binds her too. And as whispers spread that she is "the girl who knows the medicine," Akahlulwa must decide whether her silence will consume her, or if she can reclaim her voice in a way that heals instead of destroys. A chilling, atmospheric tale of cruelty, ancestry, and the power of voice, The Girl Who Knew the Medicine is African gothic horror at its most haunting.
