Call and Response book by Gothataone Moeng

Call and Response by Gothataone Moeng is a short story collection set mainly in Botswana, moving between the rural village of Serowe and the capital city, Gaborone.

The book brings together interconnected stories about ordinary people—especially women and young people—navigating family expectations, tradition, love, grief, and change in a society that is shifting between old customs and modern life. Each story focuses on personal moments that reveal bigger social realities, such as secrecy within families, emotional struggle, and the pressure to conform.

Written in a vivid and intimate style, the collection captures everyday life in Botswana with honesty, humour, and emotional depth, highlighting how people “call” out for understanding and how others “respond” within relationships and community. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
