We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo
5.0

NoViolet Bulawayo’s ten-year-old Darling tells her story with all the sassy and vibrant honesty of a young girl who is fully accepting of and in love with the precarious life she is offered growing up largely unsupervised and in a greatly changing Zimbabwe. When Darling moves to the United States, readers are treated to an illumining, funny, heartbreaking, and eye-opening look at two cultural perspectives on friendship, family, and consumerism.
