In “Not All Bid Farewell” (published by iUniverse), the new novel by Tracy M’Cwabeni, a woman’s determination and perseverance allow her to take charge of her life and fight for what is rightly hers.
In war-torn Rhodesia in 1978, Ruva Ganda – living in Harare, the capital of what would soon become an independent Zimbabwe – is losing her battle with a fifth miscarriage. Ruva, her husband, Mukai, and their twin daughters don’t have much, but they are content with their lot. The family’s life changes drastically, however, when Mukai is murdered.
Ruva takes a job working for a liberal white family and then moves on to manage the farm of Brian Sanderson, a white lawyer. While Ruva’s daughters are away at school, a lasting romance – one that crosses racial and social boundaries – develops between Ruva and Brian.
Meanwhile, the lives of her talented daughters move on radically different paths, as Hilda pursues her doctorate while Matie lies about her education. She takes a job on a cruise ship, marries a rich playboy and moves to London, ignoring her family back home.
Ruva’s personal growth continues as she becomes an activist for women’s issues, a career that carries dangerous consequences. When tragedy strikes again, her family bonds are tested and bring her full circle. Once again, she is reunited in love with those who bid no farewell.
