Immerse yourself in the “magical-realist beauty” of The Theory of Flight, the breathtaking debut novel by Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu. Published by Penguin Random House SA, this book is a sweeping saga that blends national history with the extraordinary lives of characters who transcend the ordinary.
About the Story: The novel begins as Imogen Zula Nyoni (known as Genie) lies in a coma, but it quickly takes flight into the history of her ancestors. From Baines Tikiti’s mysterious wanderlust to Golide Gumede’s obsession with building a flying machine and Elizabeth Nyoni’s country-and-western dreams, this story is a rich tapestry of love, war, and the “theory” of how we rise above our circumstances.
