A Cowrie of Hope

Om A Cowrie of Hope

A Cowrie of Hope is the moving tale of a mother's pledge to pay for her daughter's education in 1990s Zambia, sacrificing all she owns in order to give her child the independence that was denied to her. 'Marriage and men are not salvation but the ruin of any woman who can't stand on her own two feet.' Nasula craves freedom from the domination of the men around her. Offered no choice over her marriage nor any power after the wedding, her husband's unexpected death is a sudden chance for liberation. Yet, under the strain of a changing and impoverished nation, she struggles to provide for her family. Rising to the challenges of living as a widow in rural Zambia, Nasula sees her daughter as a symbol of hope for the next generation. Through relentless strength and determination, she promises to fight for her daughter's right to education - and a brighter future. Binwell Sinyangwe creates a beautiful story about the plight of women in late-twentieth-century Zambia, capturing a stirring tale of courage, dignity, and monumental resilience.
