"Set in an imagined contemporary African country, this gripping novel portrays from a unique second person point-of-view the uprising of a group of women stone crushers at a gravel pit, who rise up against their corporate bosses to demand higher wages for their labor - a grueling process of breaking rocks down to gravel-size bits to be used as road surfacing for the expansion of the country's airport.
