Mbozi Haimbe was born and raised in Lusaka, Zambia. She completed an MSt in Creative Writing at the University of Cambridge in 2018, and is currently working on a collection of African inspired short stories. Her short story, ‘Madam’s Sister’, in which the arrival of a sister from London causes upheaval in a Zambian household, was a regional winner of the Commonwealth Short Story Prize. Mbozi lives in Norfolk with her family.
‘The sister has a headful of fine hair down to the small of her back. The golden colour of maize silk, her weave is not stiff and waxy like Chipo’s, but moves in the breeze.’
