{"product_id":"shipikisha-club","title":"Shipikisha Club By Kalimamukwento, M","description":"A woman on trial. A marriage built on silence. A culture that demands endurance.   Sali, a working mother of three, is on trial for the murder of her husband, Kasunga. Accused of shooting him after a fight in their bedroom, she pleads not guilty and must rely on an overworked legal aid lawyer as a courtroom hungry for judgement looks on.   Fourteen years earlier, Sali's life was shaped by a different kind of violence. The pressure to conform, to endure, to shipikisha. When an affair with a wealthy, married man ends in sudden death, she enters a loveless marriage to escape the shame of unwed motherhood. What follows is a life marked by infidelity, financial strain, postnatal depression and quiet suffering, until endurance finally gives way.   Told through a braided narrative moving between past and present, The Shipikisha Club is a powerful literary novel about marriage, motherhood and the devastating cost of silence in contemporary Zambia.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57813544567166,"sku":"NW9781913175900","price":12.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781913175900.jpg?v=1786041342","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/shipikisha-club","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
