A tender, evocative portrait of a boy's journey to adulthood in 1960s rural Zimbabwe, written by acclaimed author Shimmer Chinodya.
Following a young boy, Godi, as he navigates the complexities of childhood, family, and tradition, Dew in the Morning captures the rhythms and hardships of village life, revealing the deep-rooted connections between land, identity, and memory in Zimbabwe's national consciousness, and lays the thematic groundwork for Chinodya's later works.
