Kondi’s Quest

Kondi’s Quest

Author(s): Sylvia Stewart

Location(s): Malawi

Genre(s): Mystery

Era(s): Contemporary

All she longs for is her father’s love. Kondi, a 12-year-old Malawian girl, is sure her father, Bambo, doesn’t love her. He seems to care more about the secret brown envelope he carries with him everywhere than his own daughter. She’s convinced things will improve, though, when her mother’s baby arrives. Then one night Bambo beats Mai in a drunken rage, and neighbors rush her off to the hospital. Will Mai and the baby live? Will Kondi be sold off by her uncle Kakama to a rich man to be his third wife? And what could possibly be in Bambo’s brown envelope? The secrets are about to be revealed. A beautiful coming-of-age story-of love, betrayal, and forgiveness that you won’t soon forget.
