The book is a sombre analysis of the post 2000 era in Zimbabwe which is characterized by economic meltdown. A hyper-inflation environment where everyone is a billionaire. basic commodities are scare, water rationing, power cuts due to load shedding and fuel becomes scarce. This is a Zimbabwe where the black market becomes the only official market where people hoard the basic commodities and it becomes a dog eat dog situation. The book celebrates the resilience of the ordinary man to transcend above everyday challenges and survive at such a critical time. The author poses a lot of reasons that have led to such anarchy in Zimbabwe and urges people to transcend above all these challenges so as to re-build the nation and thrive for unity, peace and harmony. Gova illuminates on the Zimbabwean Experience "at our darkest hour" therefore it is a must read for everyone.
