The Book Of Not Av Tsitsi Dangarembga

<p><b>FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF <i>THIS MOURNABLE BODY </i>and<i> NERVOUS CONDITIONS</i></b><br><b>ONE OF THE BBC''S 100 WOMEN FOR 2020</b><br><br>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 <i>Nervous Conditions</i> is as moving, darkly witty, and riveting as its predecessor.</p>
