The Shipikisha Club by Mubanga Kalimamukwento
This critique of Zambia’s gender norms starts off with a murderous scandal: Sali is a mother of three who is standing trial for her husband’s, Kasunga’s, murder, a case that has rocked the nation. But how did she get here? Things really started 14 years ago, when Sali was rejecting the expectation to marry and carrying on with a rich married man.—a rich married man who just so happened to die the same day she found out she was pregnant. Fast forward a few years, and she’s married to Kasunga, whose vices she must endure. That is, until she speaks up for herself and he puts a gun to her head.
