It is said that everyone has a story to tell. But not every biography gets under your skin like the life of Shumba, who was born Alasdair on a farm of British immigrants in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. It is a happy childhood in the grandiose nature of Africa, which is abruptly overshadowed by the violence of the civil war in Rhodesia at the end of the 1970s. These are experiences that will shape Shumba. Shumba experiences what a life of peace can mean when he goes to London to study dance. But even there, there is light and shadow. His later career as a ballet dancer takes him to the world's great stages. It is the pain and grief over what he has experienced that make his style of dancing something extraordinary. But years pass before Shumba, by now a physiotherapist in Schleswig-Holstein, consciously confronts his past for the first time in connection with a cancer illness.

When the River Wakes Up is an exploration of paths rarely explored—the colliding of Western beliefs and Shona mysticism. Abigail, in all her fragility, is a resolute pioneer alongside her African brother, her soul compatriot, and vessel of African wisdom: Zukah. Through their relationship they open up closed minds and hearts around them, and forge a different path in the new Zimbabwe. Any government transitioning from a racist minority rule to a majority government is careening down a road of unfathomable chaos; Zimbabwe is no different. Seen through the lens of Abigail’s father, a civil servant, the process is filled with potholes of despair and unforeseen hope. When the River Wakes Up is a novel that is both a tormenting inner struggle and a changing world scorched by the fire of new beginnings.
