Who should read this book? Why?

We recommend this book to people that:
  • are interested in Rhodesian society
  • enjoy the mixture of different languages in writing
  • are older than thirteen, due to mature subject material.
  • enjoy books about coming-of-age.
  • realize and appreciate that the chapters are long and the text is small.
  • are female, or are emotionally available males.
You should read this book because:
  • it is beautifully written
  • it is relatable for girls, because Tambudzai is going through many of the same stages teenage girls do.
  • it is very interesting and the reader learns a lot about life in Rhodesia.
  • Tambudzai is a fascinating character, as are her struggles.
  • It captures the struggles and success of many different areas, from issues with the family, to racism, to educational successes.
