Enjoyable book detailing the challenges faced by ordinary everyday Zimbabweans. The stories are told with impressive detail and if anything, they made me feel sorry for the girl child, the sexual assault and abuse that they go through throughout their lives. I had a problem with understanding that the guy in the first story accepted his moms prostitution so easily, the story is well told and takes you on a journey around Bulawayo and all the way to Joburg. All the stories feel well researched and she paid attention to detail when telling them, all in all a good book.
