Stories Set in Mozambique
Mozambique stretches along the Indian Ocean in southeastern Africa, with a coast behind islands and river plains. Portuguese rule until 1975 was followed by a war from 1977 to 1992, which displaced communities and left stories centered on villages, the sea and rebuilding. Mary and Martha and When Pigs Have Wings sit on its shelf as stories touching its hospitals and towns. Open Mozambique on the StoryTerra map and filter its stories by any era.
