A wonderful story about a girl being born into poverty in Zimabwe and her journey to getting an education. I really liked our heroine and her struggle of staying true to her heritage but also wanting to achieve more. Gender, identity, colonialism are just a few of the themes that play an important role and are very well dealt with in my opinion.
