He does not return after the war and Marita is determined to find him or find out what happened to him. This is perhaps a single clear theme in a landscape where women, particularly the poor and the marginalised, suffer many layers of oppression. Marita's courage and endurance are reconstructed through the memories of those who knew her in a language steep in poetry and Shona idiom. </p><p><em>Bones</em>, which won the <strong>Noma Award</strong> in 1989, was Chenjerai Hove's first novel in English. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"</em>Bones<em> is a timeless and unmatched landmark in African story-telling. A celebration of resilient hope in the face of relentless and intimate oppression." </em>- <strong>Robert Muponde</strong>, Professor of English at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg</p><br>
