Nevertheless: Sparkian Tales in Bulawayo is a revealing set of fictional short stories recounting author, Dame Muriel Spark’s time in Southern Rhodesia, as well as contemporary observations from a Scottish doctor visiting the city for the first time. It is a slim enlightening collection that lingered long after I’d finished the last page. Rae, Goodreads
