Zephyr, the children's imprint of Head of Zeus, has acquired the rights to two impressive young adult fiction books from Zimbabwean author, Blessing Musariri. The two novels, "All That It Ever Meant" and "When It’s Your Turn For Midnight," promise to captivate readers with their unique storytelling and exploration of family, love, and life lived between different cultures.
"All That It Ever Meant" is an outstanding young adult novel that delves into themes of family love, loss, and the challenges of living between two cultures. The story follows Mati and her siblings as they embark on a journey from London to Zimbabwe with their father. This journey forces them to confront the complex family dynamics that arose from the loss of their mother. Accompanying them on the trip is Meticais, a fabulously attired gender-neutral spirit—or is it a ghost or an imaginary friend? Only Mati can see and communicate with this enigmatic entity.
Guided by Meticais's wisdom and advice, Mati must navigate her grief and the difficulties of straddling two different cultures. Meanwhile, her family learns to forge their path in a world without their monumental mother. The novel promises to be a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of identity, love, and resilience.
The second book acquired by Zephyr, "When It’s Your Turn For Midnight," promises to be a thrilling young adult read filled with mystery and adventure. While the details about the plot are yet to be revealed, Blessing Musariri's reputation as an award-winning author of short stories, children’s stories, radio and screenplays, and contemporary adult fiction ensures that readers are in for a treat.
