Selected by Edwidge Danticat as the winner of the inaugural Kimbilio National Fiction Prize, Malawi’s Sisters is about the murder of a young black woman by a white man, and was inspired by the 2013 shooting of Renisha McBride.
Of Malawi’s Sisters, Edwidge Danticat writes:
“This story is both timely and well executed. We rarely see the private side of the devastating aftermath of police/vigilante/help-seeking and shot-related deaths that this writer describes here in such a suspenseful and nuanced manner. This is the kind of book that might encourage and inspire in depth conversations and discussions and help readers think more deeply about a subject they might have mistakenly thought they knew all about.”
