A culture that demands endurance.   Sali, a working mother of three, is on trial for the murder of her husband, Kasunga. Accused of shooting him after a fight in their bedroom, she pleads not guilty and must rely on an overworked legal aid lawyer as a courtroom hungry for judgement looks on.   Fourteen years earlier, Sali's life was shaped by a different kind of violence. The pressure to conform, to endure, to shipikisha. When an affair with a wealthy, married man ends in sudden death, she enters a loveless marriage to escape the shame of unwed motherhood. What follows is a life marked by infidelity, financial strain, postnatal depression and quiet suffering, until endurance finally gives way.   Told through a braided narrative moving between past and present, The Shipikisha Club is a powerful literary novel about marriage, motherhood and the devastating cost of silence in contemporary Zambia.","brand":"Cassava Republic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52021983445280,"sku":"9781913175900","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781913175900_3047283.jpg?v=1784790304","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-shipikisha-club-mubanga-kalimamukwento-9781913175900","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
