The Hope, The Prayer, The Anthem

The Hope, The Prayer, The Anthem, is a collection of short stories on identity, love, hope, and self-discovery. Told by rising and award-winning writers from across the African continent and beyond, the stories are a rich blend of suspense, humour, drama, and romance.

"This anthology gives us a glimpse into the galaxies of possibility within African literature. It is complex, exciting, full of surprises, and brimming with brilliance."

                                                           Maneo Mohale, Author, Everything is a Deadly Flower

"The stories in this collection are rooted in time and place. This specificity, steeped in clear language and vivid imagery, makes them bold and urgent. An enthusiastic read that left me with fresh thoughts and feelings about the people in my continent."
