Nervous Conditions
by Tsitsi Dangarembga
I had to read this book for uni, and I'm so happy that I had to.
Its an african "Bildungsroman" about a girl "Tambu" who wants to go to school. Her brother is allowed but for her there was to little money. Her bother dies and she takes his place.
Its about education, post colonialism, Englishness and the place of the african women. How someone goes from "poor" to educated. Family standing and still male domination.
Her uncle sees himself as the provider of all, doesn't believe his daughter, which drives her to an eating disorder, remarries Tambus mother and father because they have sinned. He spents money on all because "it is his duty" and leaves all the work to his wife, till the point where she leaves.
All in all this was soo interesting to read, and I'm very happy that I had the oppertunity to.
