Welcome to Mambale. A rural village where patriarchy reigns and poverty has a stronghold. Here, a love rectangle spirals into sibling rivalry, betrayal, witchcraft and divination — with dark and devilish plot twists and dire consequences you could never have imagined! Sue Nyathi, author of The Polygamist
For Lelani Ncube a job at Moyo Stores in the quiet Zimbabwean village of Mambale was supposed to be a fresh start. Instead, it becomes a trap.
When the one man she never truly let go of walks back into her life, Lelani is caught in a stifling web of desire.
In pure desperation, she turns to the village Healer. He promises to grant her heart’s deepest desires — but magic always demands a price. And she is not the only one paying it.
As her whole world begins to crumble, Lelani sees only one way out: she has to leave home and start over in Gaborone. But with secrets trailing her across the border, how long can she outrun her past?
My Sister’s Lover is a dark, gripping tale of twisted loyalties and the fragile bonds between lovers and family.
