{"product_id":"9781776393244","title":"We Inherit the Fire","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vivid, atmospheric novel set against the end of apartheid in South Africa, centred on a family of Black women who fracture and fall back together again amidst a nation-wide reckoning. Kewame “Dolly” Malaka is unravelling. A former political prisoner, now a mother and mistress of a beautiful home, she struggles to maintain a fragile image of domestic perfection, finding herself lost somewhere between childhood, prison, and the present. Kelelo, Kewame’s teenage daughter, is growing up in a time when the things her mother fought for are being realized. At school, Kelelo enjoys a certain level of fame as the child of a former political prisoner. At home, she wrestles with the painful reality of an emotionally distant mother, who shrouds her past in silence and secrecy. In gorgeously rendered, unflinching prose, We Inherit the Fire entwines the intimate with the historical, injustice with resilience, and tenderness with pain in its excavation of the fractured bonds between generations. With the startling specificity and boundary-breaking potential of Francesca Ekwuyasi's Butter Honey Pig Bread, this novel sears its mark onto the reader’s memory long after the final page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kagiso Lesego Molope","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52994546762046,"sku":"9781776393244","price":360.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9781776393244.jpg?v=1770732037","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781776393244","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
