Short listed for the 2025 Zimbabwe National Arts Merit Award for Outstanding Fiction

A poignant story of longing, betrayal, and the search for belonging in a land forever changed.
When Cassia Brooke returns to Zimbabwe in the 1980s, she carries only fragments of childhood memories—sun-drenched days on the family farm, laughter with cousins, and the promise of a simpler time. But the country she once called home has changed. Rhodesia is gone, and in its place stands a nation scarred by a brutal war and struggling to forge a new identity.
Cassia’s homecoming quickly becomes a reckoning. Reconnecting with her family stirs both nostalgia and pain, revealing fractured family ties and unresolved wounds from the past. As she navigates a society still reeling from conflict, Cassia is pulled into a frightening situation that threatens to shatter what little stability remains.

Set against the richly textured backdrop of post-war Zimbabwe, The Full Moon Rises at Sunset is a sweeping tale of resilience, loyalty, and the enduring bonds of family.

This emotionally charged third installment in The Sunrising Series can be read as a standalone novel or as part of the unforgettable multigenerational saga. Perfect for fans of Victoria Hislop and Dinah Jefferies.
