Marita has spent her life working the land she will never own, raising a son she hopes will never be taken away from her.
When he disappears into the liberation war, the farm falls silent - but Marita does not. With no education, no protection, and no power in a country tearing itself apart, she begins a desperate search across Rhodesia, following rumours, strangers, and fading hope.
Each person she meets carries a fragment of her son's story - and a piece of a nation in transformation.
Bones is a novel about what war leaves behind; and the love that refuses to be buried. It is a haunting story of motherhood, loss and endurance - of how love outlives violence, and how the land remembers what history tries to forget.
It is a novel about people left behind, and the quite courage it takes to keep searching when all that remains is faith.
