About the Novel

This novel is about a young Zimbabwean woman or girl, who, together with her sister, becomes a refugee in South Africa just four years before the start of the 2010 Soccer World Cup. Her family's background, from as early as 1958 when her father was born, is making a huge influence in her life and the way she relates to her sister.

Because of the sad and difficult upbringing of both her parents, she takes a vow to protect her sister with her own life if need be. Her sister, who is not only multitalented, fine, young, and an amazing person with a personality close to that of an angel but also an albino, is the only thing she is prepared to live and die for.

After convincing her father to allow her to come to South Africa with her little sister with the intention of saving her from a bound marriage in which four other women were already involved, like many people in the neighboring countries of South Africa, they cannot find what they expect from a country, which is blessed with an opportunity to host the most prestigious tournament on earth.

Ultimately, instead of protecting her sister, she, unfortunately, has a hand in her sister's death. After burying her sister without the knowledge of her parents in Zimbabwe, she decides to hide herself in South Africa from her parents and her fiancé, and goes to look for the love of her life while she is three months pregnant.

With the help of her lost love, who could not bear her children because of the injury he sustained during circumcision, she returns home, together with her newborn twins, to Zimbabwe to reconcile with her parents and to ask for their forgiveness.
