One of those books you've been aware of so long, you assume you know her basic life story. Turns out I didn't, and was repeatedly surprised (& shocked, moved, angered, saddened, made to laugh, cheer...) Her writing is beautiful, listening to her reading it on audio, even more so.

I read this for my #readharder #classicbypoc category, and will definitely be working my way through the rest of her autobiographies.

batsy Beautiful, difficult book. 7y
rockpools @batsy Yes. The middle section was just heartbreaking. 7y

This novel is described as a modern classic, and I honestly couldn't agree more. The story is poignant and interesting, and stays with you after finishing it. Reading a colonization narrative from the point of view of a girl who sees it as a way to improve her life and change her lot in life was incredible. Dangarembga's writing is flawless. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #readharderchallenge #classicbypoc @EpicReads #litsyreadingchallenge #byawomanofcolour @jessica
