{"product_id":"9781928257240","title":"Eyes in the Night An Untold Zulu Story","description":"1879, the year in which I grew up faster than I could shout my name. That year was the one in which we experienced events and encounters that no one, particularly a child, should ever witness. It was also the year my people lost everything - their land and fields - and were reduced to being vagrants and beggars in the land of their birth. I am the daughter of Mqokotshwa Makhoba, one of King Cetshwayo's generals of the iNgobamakhosi regiment, he named me Nombhosho, which means bullet. He said I would come out of any situation fast and unscathed, like a bullet...' Nomavenda Mathiane stumbled upon her grandmother's story well over a century after the gruelling events of the Battle of Isandlwana that formed her life. Astounded to hear how her grandmother had survived the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War between the British and Zulu nations as a young girl, Mathiane spent hours with her elder sisters reconstructing the extraordinary life of their grandmother. The result is a sweeping epic of both personal and political battles. Eyes in the Night is a young Zulu woman's story of drama, regret, guilt and, ultimately, triumph - set against the backdrop of a Zululand changed beyond recognition. A true story almost lost, but for a chance remark at a family gathering.","brand":"BOOKSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39358030348403,"sku":"9781928257240","price":276.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/products\/eyes-in-the-night-nomavenda-mathiane-28231562920051.jpg?v=1637380630","url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.shop\/de\/products\/9781928257240","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
