""A haunting, unforgettable story about a shattered girl and a shattered boy rebuilding their lives on the thinnest reeds of hope."" â Lawrence Hill
 âIf Toni Morrison is a language, Tarisai Ngangura speaks it as well as any novelist writing today. . . .A magnificent novel.â â Donna Bailey NurseÂ
A love story of two young people who must surrender to heartache before claiming the peace they seek, from a debut author of unusual power and grace
On a bus moving across a rural landscape, from town to dusty town, two young people are escaping with their lives. She has committed a crime for which there will be retribution. He is staggering from a devastating discovery. These two will find each other and attempt a new way forward, with nothing to hold on to except hope. But the talons of the past have dug deep, and the wounds have not yet healed.
Seamlessly transitioning between past lives and present realities, The Ones We Loved tenderly weaves both myth and memory into an account of two people desperate for connection and yearning for a place to belong.
Told in the rhythms of oral retellings practiced by Zimbabweâs Shona ethnic group, where the soundscape of a ngano (story)âits melodies, pauses, lifts and stopsâcreates a call-and-response with the audience, The Ones We Loved is about the homes we leave behind, the lonely voices that find us and the painful consequences of experiencing a love that has never known how to let go.
