The Girl Without a Sound by Buhle Ngaba
This story follows the journey of a young girl whose fantastical stories live in her eyes. She has no voice — just a “golden cocoon” humming inside of her throat. Visited by a “red-winged woman” sent from the moon, the two begin the process of finding her voice only to learn that it’s always lived inside of her. It’s a classic tale of learning to love, trust and accept oneself.
The book is also available in isiXhosa and Afrikaans. Please contact us to inquire about availability.
