Hope Is Our Only Wing by Rutendo Tavengerwei
September 10, 2019, Soho Teen
Setting: Zimbabwe 2008
First chapter, first paragraph:
Shamiso's heart broke into a shudder of beats. She could hear the jazzy trails of the mbira spiraling in the air. Her father would have loved that sound. She glanced at her mother, who stood next to her, fanning her sweaty neck. She seemed preoccupied. The music played on, painful and familiar.
