This powerful political novel pays homage to the unsung heroism of rural women who opposed apartheid in South Africa. Set in the barren Sabelweni valley from the 1950s to the 1980s, And They Didn't Die follows a community of women who care for their children, the land, and the cattle, through periods of drought, famine, while their husbands labour in the distant mines and cities. The story centres around Jezile, whose struggles culminate in a dramatic act of redemption and revenge. And They Didn't Die forms a moving chronicle of resistance by women who -- despite poverty and political persecution -- rise up to fight for their land, their autonomy, and their children's future.
