This episode is about a writer Shimmer Chinodya, a Zimbabwean novelist whose first book, 'Dew in the Morning' was warmly recieved both in Zimbabwe, the authors home country, and internationally. He talks about his development as a writer and he is grateful to have been brought up in the village that inspired  'Dew in the Morning'. It is more or less a record, with some fictional distortion, it is more or less a record of the life his family lived in the country.
