{"product_id":"9780868522586","title":"Mhudi","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1930, Mhudi by Sol Plaatje is widely regarded as the first novel written in English by a Black South African. Set in the early nineteenth century against a backdrop of war, migration and upheaval, it tells the story of Mhudi, a courageous young woman who survives the destruction of her people and embarks on a journey of resilience, love and rebuilding. Alongside her husband, Ra-Thaga, she navigates a changing and often hostile landscape, forging unexpected alliances and holding onto hope in the face of profound loss.  Both an epic romance and a powerful historical narrative, Mhudi is a pioneering work of South African literature. Rich in imagination and insight, it offers a deeply human perspective on a turbulent period in the country’s past, and remains as significant and moving today as when it was first published.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sol Plaatje","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53861690999102,"sku":"9780868522586","price":305.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780868522586.jpg?v=1783173629","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780868522586","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
