Amazing book about feminism and colonialism, about sisterhood in patriarchal contexts and self awareness of your roots.

An incredible meditation on patriarchal and colonial violence. The prose here was exceptional. Dangarembga evokes such a detailed world, and she’s magnificent at telling little stories throughout the narrative which blend together so smoothly, but clearly inform and contextualize the story in such important ways.
