<p>Malawi is one of the world¿s poorest countries, where the majority of its 18 million population live on less than ¿323 a year, one million people have HIV/AIDS and more than half of children don¿t even finish primary school. In <em>The Spirit of Malawi</em>, Susan Dalgety explores contemporary Malawi through the voices of its people, like Homba Mvkeani¿s granddaughter, Busi, who cared for her at home after a stroke, Wezi Mzumara, who dreams of Malawi becoming the fashion capital of Africa and Alexander Galimoto, wrongfully imprisoned in the country¿s most notorious prison.</p><p>Beautifully observed, this book looks behind the well-worn clich¿of sub-Saharan Africa and explores how people really live, from the joy ¿ and pain ¿ of childbirth, to old age and death. Ultimately, Malawi¿s story is a story of hope.</p>
