The Toppling is Cynthia Marangwanda’s highly anticipated follow-up to her award-winning novella, Shards. At its heart is Mamoyo, a spirit medium who has always regarded her gift as a curse. But when a ghost from the colonial past begins to haunt her, she is thrust into a perilous journey that forces her to reconsider everything she thought she knew. As Mamoyo battles forces more powerful than she could have imagined, the struggle extends far beyond her own survival, to the very future of her country. Steeped in history and spirituality, The Toppling lays bare the unhealed wounds of a nation in crisis, while weaving a story of resistance, reckoning, and resilience. With her signature artistry and unflinching vision, Marangwanda delivers a gripping narrative that refuses to be put down.
The Toppling can be found at Carnelian Heart Publishing and Amazon.
