A Question of Power by Bessie Head

3.0

This book portrays how hard it is to live with a mental illness so well. The main character, Elizabeth, is a mixed race woman who has recently moved to Botswana with her son. She hallucinates, and talks to people who don't really exist, but they become a very important part of her life. I felt confused when Elizabeth did, and clear in what was going on when she did, and that made this such a powerful book.
