Avenues

Avenues by Train is a challenging, daring first novel about grief, trauma and liberation. The novel follows Jedza, a young Zimbabwean man, as he leaves his small hometown for the bustling streets of Harare, seeking freedom from his haunted past. There, Jedza is forced to confront the shadows of his past and the complexities of city life. Drawing on Zimbabwe’s vibrant culture and spiritual heritage, Mudzingwa poignantly depicts Jedza’s journey to finding peace and reconciling with loss – and his hero’s story parallels the nation’s journey of mourning colonial losses and confronting post-colonial challenges.
