The Hairdresser of Harare by Tendai Huchu
4.0
I really liked the concept of this book. I didn’t really get what the punchline was from the beginning but the author keeps dropping subtle hints.
It was interesting the angle the author went from because we got to see homophobia from an a perspective we don’t usually see it from and there’s so much to be learned from the story. We got to see cultural homophobia at work and how ignorance about certain issues can be very harmful even though we may not intend for it to be.
I love love loved the writing style. The imagery was on point and the author set the scene in a way that made it very easy to visualize and watch the story unfold. The characters were very relatable and the author made it easy to connect with them and to understand their thought process and even the way they felt.
I’m giving this four stars because I wish we had seen more character development but I feel that not much really changed.
