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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mubanga Kalimamukwento","offers":[{"title":"240 pages \/ 23\/07\/2026 \/ Fiction: special features","offer_id":45292921454774,"sku":"9781913175900","price":17.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/8251\/1286\/files\/9781913175900.jpg?v=1785160575","url":"https:\/\/mhkshopmotfy.com\/products\/9781913175900","provider":"Mhkshopmotfy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
