I loved Tambudzai!!! This book deals with challenging themes yet it's heartening and enjoyable. Through the experience of women in Tambus life, and their relationships with men and  societies that favour men, Tambu narrates her aging and education from the late 60s onwards as a teen.
I thought it was just brilliant.
