Fatima Kara
Fatima Kara is a Zimbabwean writer living in the USA. The Train House on Lobengula Street, her first novel, grows out of her childhood experiences in the Indian community in Bulawayo, Rhodesia and the inspirational response of the community’s strong women to the racial discrimination that was extended towards all non-Whites.
The author has an MFA from Spalding University in Kentucky. When not writing, she divides her time between Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, where she propagates fruit and nut trees, and plants them in schools and rural communities, and North Carolina, USA.
