Summary
Summary
As Zimbabwe emerges into independence, Tambudzai Sigauke embarks on her second year at the Young Ladies' College of the Sacred Heart. Determined to excel, Tambu exhausts herself with her efforts to climb to the top of the school's honour rolls. The further she pushes herself, however, the farther she feels from any reward; and the roots of colonialism threaten to trip her at every step. The sequel to Nervous Conditions is as moving, darkly witty, and riveting as its predecessor.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“A most intensely felt and remembered book that reproduces the feel, sight, sound, and emotion of an African convent boarding school a quarter of a century ago…No book I have read conveys so powerfully and truthfully the wounds of cultural colonialism.” —Terrence Ranger, University of Oxford
