Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga
challenging
sad
medium-paced
4.0
“I was not sorry when my brother died. Nor am I apologising for my callousness, as you may define it, my lack of feeling.
What an intro.
Nervous conditions is a coming-of-age, thought provoking novel that gives insight on Women in post-colonial Rhodesia now Zimbabwe. The book explores themes of identity, culture, education, colonialism, gender roles, and resilience.
The way Tambu lived through complexities of her own identity and the societal norms that governed her life was thought-provoking.
The end was very abrupt but I've come to learn that there's a sequel.
Do I want to continue this story now?
I'll let this marinate
