Description
Zonipha is a rural girl newly inaugurated into the city as a domestic worker.
Ambitious but righteous, she seeks to improve herself.
Life disagrees and Zonipha finds herself ensnared by an abusive man, her employer.
Unable to escape, she falls pregnant with a child who can never know his father, and following her unhappy decision will never know his mother.
Fate intervenes at a tuckshop when Eugenia, who has longed for child, discovers the abandoned baby.
In doing so, she pioneers a movement that seems to defy culture as she tries to encourage the idea of adoption.
For Want of a Totem explores the meaning of family and what it means to be a parent.
If a child is abandoned, who must raise her. This short but moving novel raised important questions about culture and its adaptability as it responds to contemporary and sometimes contentious issues.
