Scribe tackles race relations in new book

BY SHARON SIBINDI
JOURNALIST and author Violette Kee-Tuli said her book titled Mulberry Dreams, that was nominated for the forthcoming Roil Bulawayo Arts Awards (RoilBAA), is centred on race relations and forbidden love, among other themes.

Kee-Tuli told NewsDay Life & Style that while the book explored the role played by race in Zimbabwe, with a focus on the often-overlooked coloured community, it predominantly tells a story about human relations.

“The book Mulberry Dreams is set in Bulawayo and centres on the lives of two families, one white and  the other coloured, separated by race, but connected by a tragedy which has deep and lasting ripple effects on future generations,” she said.
