Synopsis
The Stone Virgins tells a story of wounding and trauma. But whereas her earlier work plumbs the traumatized psyches of individual characters, this one ambitiously reaches outward and across time. She interweaves the lives of two sisters with the story of their community, Kezi, a rural town located 200 kilometers west of the city of Bulawayo. With this expansive sweep-across the geography of Matebeleland province, over a period of 36 years-the story of an entire nation unfolds.
