Product Description
Flowers of the Nation (School Edition)
Author: Sandile Memela
Format: Physical Hardcopy
Sixteen-year-old Zenzele is not prepared to stand by while her father, Sizwe, dies of AIDS. Instead, she and her ten-year-old sister Mpumelelo journey from the townships to an exclusive Pretoria suburb to find their estranged uncle Vusi and ask for his help. Who will they encounter on the way?
Will they reach their destination unscathed? And can the rifts between brothers and within communities be healed?
Flowers of the nation is a novella about selfempowerment and taking responsibility. It shatters the myth that impoverishment and blackness go together, showcases the new century’s renaissance man, and provides insight into AIDS policy and other issues.
In the beautiful Zenzele and her family you will find the compelling reality of today’s South Africa. Age: Young adult
