'THE UNREADER,' Is the second fiction novel by Nathaniel Z. Mpofu. It revolves around two square pegs in round holes: Nate and Lullenda.
 
Cat curious and avid reader, Lullenda Ndlovu finds a mysterious diary in the rarely visited confines of the Eveline Girls High School library.
 
A later realized fact that no one else can see the writer’s words except for her, is soon coupled with clever manipulation of surreal intelligence by a knowledge seeker, Nate Sibanda-the assistant librarian. Together, they open a long coverted vault in the dungeons of a century old cob webbed history wherein a vengeful princess, Martha Henrietta Claire, immortalized herself in the diary. 
Uncertainty surrounds her cause of death, but notes from her private depression and psychosis scream murder. Even at the hands of her cunning and deceitful would-be lover, the infamous Cecil John Rhodes.
 
Finally resurrected from her macabre death, Martha has an oddly odd story to tell Lullenda and Nate.
 
A story, about the most catastrophic illusion Africa has ever seen…
