Fallen Candle – Busisekile Khumalo

Another raw and resonant exploration of betrayal, silence, and resilience from Busisekile Khumalo.

With her trademark fearless honesty, Khumalo illuminates the struggles of women navigating sacrifice and survival, showing how even a candle that burns out leaves behind light. Deeply emotional and powerfully written — readers describe her prose as unflinching and necessary.

Highlighted for its domestic betrayal arcs and the viral hook: "Even a fallen candle leaves light behind." Perfect for fans of Khumalo's own Her Silent Screams series, NoViolet Bulawayo's We Need New Names, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Purple Hibiscus.

A trade paperback (2024) in Very Good condition — minor shelf wear, pages clean and intact, binding tight.
