It recalls the sweeping sagas of the great A.C. Jordan and the Dhlomo brothers and invokes the poetry of S.E.K. Mqhayi, while boldly exploring urgent and contemporary issues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn ode to the complex strengths of South African women, When The Village Sleeps is also a powerful call to respect the earth that nurtures human life, and to live in self-sufficiency and harmony with the environment and each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Sindiwe+Magona\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eSindiwe Magona\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sindiwe Magona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378862178467,"sku":"9781770106291","price":350.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781770106291_a4bad0a9-42ce-47be-ac74-0b00e3336575.jpg?v=1776571707","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781770106291","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
