Description



Book Synopsis



New Yorker Mara Bader moves to Zambia to teach teens Lifeskillz through soccer. Zambia offers her everything she was missing from her life in America-a sense of community and humanity. Enchanted, Mara wants to be Zambian. She learns to cook nshima like her Zambian sisters, dresses in local fabrics and falls in love with the charming, unpredictable son of an ex-minister.


Kezzy unlocks the door to Zambian culture for her, in more ways than one. They marry, with two sons following in short order. Six years later, and Mara's already an expert in ignoring the click click click sound coming from behind the bathroom door as Kezzy texts his girlfriend. When Loveness, his mistress, confronts her, Mara makes an unusual, ill-fated choice.


Salaula Sisters explores the vagaries of modern-day Zambia, a cross-cultural marriage, and an unusual alliance.
