About
In this, a ground-breaking publication in the canon of non-Western women's literary history, Paulina Chiziani -- the first woman from Mozambique ever to publish a novel -- lifts the lid on her country's values and its hypocracies. After 20 years of marriage, Rami discovers that her husband has been living a double -- or rather, a quintuple -- life. After Tony is forced to marry the four other women -- as well as an additional lover -- according to polygamist custom, the rival lovers join together to declare their voices and demand their rights.

  1. 1

    How does Rami’s initial reaction to discovering her husband’s infidelity reflect the societal expectations placed on married women in Mozambique, and how do her feelings evolve as she learns the full extent of Tony’s double (or rather, quintuple) life?

  2. 2

    In what ways does Paulina Chiziane use the practice of polygamy to explore the complex power dynamics between men and women, as well as the hypocrisies embedded in traditional cultural values?

  3. 3

    Rather than turning against one another in bitter rivalry, Rami and the other women choose to join forces and demand their rights; how does this unconventional alliance challenge your understanding of sisterhood and solidarity?
