Rotten Row

"In her ... collection of interconnected short stories, Petina Gappah crosses the barriers of class, race, gender and sexual politics in contemporary Zimbabwe, to explore the causes and effects of crime and the nature of justice. When most people in Harare hear the name 'Rotten Row', they think of the Criminal Division, the criminal courts and those unfortunates who pass through them. This is the subject of these mesmerising stories"--Publisher's description.
