For romantics between 14-80 years and older ;-) Probably more a read for women. A social streak and interest in southern Africa and its living conditions away from the glamorous tourist crowds are an advantage.
Sarudza
How a European woman can retain her love for the country and its people despite contradictory entanglements in the African bureaucratic jungle.
von Claudia van Ruiten, geb. Lutter„I must have stood in front of the closed door for half an eternity. My sense of time disappeared when the door closed. It was dark. Black.
As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I spotted a faint beam of light - a hole in the wall, was that supposed to be a window?“
Gloria lives in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. There she manages the „Tatenda“ house, where women in difficult situations find refuge, help and support. Things go on as usual until one day, through a chain of strange events, she is drawn deep into the Zimbabwean jungle of regulations and corruption. At the mercy of state power and inscrutable procedures, she faces the challenges, but how does one go on when obstacles are repeatedly placed in one's path whose meaning one does not see? Sarudza means 'choose'. And that is often not easy. But why do we so rarely follow our heart or common sense?
A thrilling, lively story about realising that the wealth of Zimbabwe lies not in its mineral resources or wonderful nature, but in the people who inhabit it, about knowing that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and about how everything then makes sense after all. If you choose to recognise it.
