{"product_id":"the-shipikisha-club","title":"The Shipikisha Club","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.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAuthor: Mubanga Kalimamukwento,author\u003cbr\u003eContributors: Mubanga Kalimamukwento,author\u003cbr\u003eBinding: hardcover\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: \u003cbr\u003eLanguages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis\u003cbr\u003ePublished\/Release Date: 23 Jul 2026\u003cbr\u003eBic Classification: Modern \u0026amp; contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Fiction: special features\u003cbr\u003ebicCode: \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher\/Studio\/Brand: Cassava Republic Press\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Director\/Artist: Mubanga Kalimamukwento\u003cbr\u003eDimension (cm): 17x135x17 mm\u003cbr\u003ePackage Dimension (cm): 17x135x17 mm\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight (g): 788\u003cbr\u003ePackage Weight (g): 226","brand":"Cassava Republic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53368806179113,"sku":"BK1913175901","price":94.4,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.centloop.com\/products\/the-shipikisha-club","provider":"Centloop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
