This book is the third of a trilogy, a fact I only learned after reading the book.
This maybe why I struggled to come into land with it. Set in Zimbabwe the main character Tambu suffers from depression and clearly has a backstory which I presume is fleshed out in the earlier novels. Without that she is difficult to understand and the story becomes a set of cameos of Tambu at various places in life.
It is written in the second person and I am not sure that works. If I find time I would come back and read the earlier novels. 5/10
