Told through the lives and spirits of four generations of amaTolo women, including The Old, who speak wisdom with ever-increasing urgency, it moves between the bustling township setting of Kwanele and the different rhythms of rural village life. It recalls the sweeping sagas of the great A.C. Jordan and the Dhlomo brothers and invokes the poetry of S.E.K. Mqhayi, while boldly exploring urgent and contemporary issues. An ode to the complex strengths of South African women, When The Village Sleeps is also a powerful call to respect the earth that nurtures human life, and to live in self-sufficiency and harmony with the environment."-- $c Back cover. 546 $a Text in English and Xhosa. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Women $z South Africa $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women, Black $z South Africa $v Fiction. 650 0 $a South African fiction (English) $y 21st century. 650 7 $a South African fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127180 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 650 7 $a Women, Black. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178916 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043808.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024908.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B4D8D708FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
