AMON CHIZEMA, a Zimbabwean-born writer and professor based in the UK, explores land, memory, and the psychology of inheritance in his debut novel The Land Remembers: Blood, Soil, and Survival. At its heart is a family on the brink—fractured by silence, burdened by legacy, and shaped by the quiet decisions that define destiny.

But this is more than the story of one farm or one family. The Land Remembers asks: what happens when a society inherits more than it knows how to carry? When survival depends not only on resources, but on memory, mindset, and the will to repair?
