It is New Year in Bulawayo, and anybody who is anybody is out
celebrating. Hatchings, with an introduction by Khombe Mangwanda,
was chosen by Professor Anthony Chennells in the Times Literary
Supplement as his choice for the most significant book to have come
out of Africa. "The story is simple. In a sentence it can be
described as a love story centered on a young couple who discover
the true power of love amid the social, economic and moral decay
that threatens to swallow their love and everything else. But to
say Hatchings is merely a love story would be criminal. It is more
than that. Hatchings is a story about Bulawayo, about Zimbabwe,
about corruption and cultural decay. In Hatchings John Eppel spares
no one. With his sharp and yet witty pen he exposes corruption and
pokes fun at those that are abusing power and this means literally
everyone. Rich, poor, white, black, Indian, foreigner or local." -
