Welcome to Anywhere
Set in a small, sun-scorched Zimbabwean town called Anywhere, Welcome to Anywhere follows Billy, a chubby and awkward teenager, who is possessed by the spirit of a dead soldier from the Independence War after a botched bank robbery. Haunted by the soldier’s memories and driven by instincts he does not understand, Billy must navigate grief, generational trauma and small-town absurdity, all while pining for his dead father and surviving his sharp-tongued mother.
The novel blends coming-of-age drama with supernatural horror and biting humour, offering a rare Zimbabwean story that straddles the psychological and the spiritual. It explores identity, memory and survival with urgency and wit.

Interior colour: Black & White on groundwood paper
“A brilliant, heart-stopping novel that charts the emotional effects of Zimbabwe’s national journey through the relationship of a young boy and his mother.”
— Giles Foden, author of The Last King of Scotland
“With a structure that spirals rather than marches, Welcome to Anywhere mimics the messiness of memory and the jagged rhythm of survival. It is immersive, generous and yet gently radical, a modern story told in a timeless way.”
— Zabu Wamara, author of Night Dancer
“This is storytelling on an entirely different level. A dark, compelling and insightful take on all the ways that the past not only haunts, but also defines the present. The eternal question of what makes us who we are is explored in unexpected ways as we follow these characters through all their trials and tribulations.”
— A’Eysha Kassiem, author of Suitcase of Memory
