Description SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 BOOKER PRIZE. Here we meet Tambudzai, living in a run-down youth hostel in downtown Harare and anxious about her prospects after leaving a stagnant job. At every turn in her attempt to make a life for herself, she is faced with a fresh humiliation, until the painful contrast between the future she imagined and her daily reality ultimately drives her to a breaking point. In this tense and psychologically charged novel, Tsitsi Dangarembga channels the hope and potential of one young girl and a fledgling nation to lead us on a journey to discover where lives go after hope has departed. ‘MAGNIFICENT.’ – Guardian. ‘A MASTERPIECE.’ – New York Times. ‘MARVELLOUS.’ – Sara Collins. ‘EXTRAORDINARY.’ – Madeleine Thien. ‘HYPNOTIC.’ – Daily Telegraph. ‘SEARING.’ – Sefi Atta. ‘A MAVERICK VOICE.’ – A Igoni Barrett. ‘A MUST READ.’ – Helon Habila. ‘SUBTLE AND INTELLIGENT.’ – TLS ‘A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT.’ – Literary Review.
