About the book
Stephene Mpashi is a prominent Zambian writer. It is a long long time since i read this book so i have actually forgotten the story, but it is written in " Bemba", a main Zambian language. The tittle simply means " He, who hit his mother in law", which is tabboo to do in Zambia. If you do this, you will be shunned by the whole community.
