Synopsis
A Girl Named Disaster is a 1996 novel by Nancy Farmer. It is set in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, where a young girl named Nhamo (which means "disaster" in Shona) is told by a shaman that she will have to marry the brother of a man her father murdered, to rid her village of an epidemic of cholera. The brother of Gore Mtoko is said to be a middle-aged and evil man who is already married. Nhamo is instructed by her ill grandmother to run away and find her father in Zimbabwe.
