York Times). Two decades before Zimbabwe would win independence and ended white minority rule, thirteen-year-old Tambudzai Sigauke embarks on her education. On her shoulders rest the economic hopes of her parents, siblings, and
extended family, and within her burns the desire for independence. She yearns to be free of the constraints of her rural village and thinks she's found her way out when her wealthy uncle offers to sponsor her schooling. But she soon learns that
the education she receives at his mission school comes with a price.
This new edition brings to readers the unforgettable beginnings of Tambu, her cousin Nyasha, and other characters who appear later in life in Dangarembga's Booker-shortlisted This Mournable Body. A timeless coming-of-age tale, and a
powerful exploration of cultural imperialism, Nervous Conditions charts Tambu's journey to personhood in a fledgling nation.
