The Stone Virgins

A Novel

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Winner of the Macmillan Prize for African Adult Fiction An uncompromising novel by one of Africa's premiere writers, detailing the horrors of civil war in luminous, haunting prose In 1980, after decades of guerilla war against colonial rule, Rhodesia earned its hard-fought-for independence from Britain. Less than two years thereafter when Mugabe rose to power in the new Zimbabwe, it signaled the begining of brutal civil unrest that would last nearly a half decade more. With The Stone Virgins Yvonne Vera examines the dissident movement from the perspective of two sisters living in a small township outside of Bulawayo. In a portrait painted in successive impressions of life before and after the liberation, Vera explores the quest for dignity and a centered existence against a backdrop of unimaginable violence; the twin instincts of survival and love; the rival pulls of township and city life; and mankind's capacity for terror, beauty, and sacrifice. One sister will find a reason for hope. One will not make it through alive. Weaving historical fact within a story of grand passions and striking endurance, Vera has gifted us with a powerful and provocative testament to the resilience of the Zimbabwean people.

Seeds of Sin

'As You Sow, So Shall You Reap''

By: Yvonne A. Hendrickson

Visitors to this link! Seeds of Sin produce bad fruit filled with secrets. Secrets have a way of finding their way to the surface.

Walter Mason has never-ending problems of weather, Mexican migrant workers, the impending death of his wife, and after 18 years, long held secrets have risen to the surface. Secrets he thought would always be just that, secrets. Like ripples of a wheat field in the wind, one secret opens another. Secrets of adultery and adoption, lead to suicide, murder and more. The ripple spreads wide, becoming a wave that rocks residents of the peaceful farming valley "Eat the apple that falls in your garden do not try to learn where it came from and you will be content."

The Trouble with Single Women

By: Yvonne Roberts

Fiona Travers, single and in her thirties, has a talent for choosing Mr Wrong. One disappointment too many, and she decides to abandon the hunt. Old Maids RIP, the new spinster thrives. Aren't the days long gone when you hooked a husband to acquire a life? What can a man give Fiona that she can't give herself? She voluntarily places herself on the shelf - for good. But there's nothing more unsettling to the miserably married than a woman who trades in happy-ever-after for the chance of a new beginning. Take Jill. She's convinced that Fiona's announcement is just another ploy to help herself to a husband - Jill's. At the same time Claire, Fiona's best friend, has grown weary of coping alone. Secretly, she's arranged a marriage for herself. It ain't love, but when you're hurtling towards middle age, childfree and spouse-less, companionship is good enough . . . Or is it? Yvonne Roberts' wise and witty novel wickedly proposes that the trouble with single women today - is that no one can quite predict what they might do next . . . While the trouble with love - is that it still holds all the best tricks.

Carolina

Mountain Man, Smoky Mountain Sunrise, Call of the Mountain, Whiter Than Snow

By: Yvonne Lehman

Famed for their Southern charm and hospitality, the Carolinas tend to attract outsiders and hold on to their natives. With the mist-covered Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop, award-winning author Yvonne Lehman spins four delightfully diverse tales of inspirational romance. Beth Bennett answers the Call of the Mountain as she wrestles with her plans to adopt her sister's unborn baby. When the man of her dreams seems to fall for her sister, can Beth let go of her hopes for a family of her own? In an attempt to clear her family's name, Meera Briskin has sought out a Mountain Man. But her heart has picked a dangerous course. Elliott Maxwell is from the wrong family, a family with whom the Briskins have been feuding for three generations. In the light of a Smoky Mountain Sunrise, Ramona Martin agrees to pose as Andre Doudet's girlfriend for a summer - what harm could it do? But Ramona is soon caught in a web of deceit that will challenge her as an athlete, a woman, and a Christian. Jennifer Collins is trapped in her home by the blizzard of the century and now has unexpected company in the form of her rescuer, volunteer fireman Rick Jenkins. Can they help each other survive until other assistance arrives? Can Jennifer help Rick understand that his troubled heart can be washed Whiter than Snow? Here's your ticket for a refreshing escape to the mountains. Enjoy the view as God works out His will in the lives of those who put their trust in Him.
