Description
In this powerful sequel to the acclaimed *Nervous Conditions*, a young woman navigates the complex landscape of post-colonial Zimbabwe, grappling with the personal and political forces that shape her identity. As she transitions to a prestigious Catholic boarding school, she confronts the insidious nature of systemic racism and the impossible standards it imposes. The narrative delves into themes of denial, unfulfilled expectations, and the profound theft of self that colonialism perpetuates. This is a compelling exploration of one individual's struggle to redefine herself within a world designed to diminish her, even as she strives to achieve within its confines.
