Some books are classics for a reason, hey. And this narration by Chipo Chung was absolutely spectacular.

3.0

Interesting read, but really not my genre of book and struggled to connect. I found the first section and the last interesting bit it really slowed down in the middle. Interesting perspectives and relationships in the story, with a devastating perspective of the pain of colonisation in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe
