Nervous Conditions

FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF THIS MOURNABLE BODY, ONE OF THE BBC`S 100 WOMEN FOR 2020 `UNFORGETTABLE` Alice Walker `THIS IS THE BOOK WE`VE BEEN WAITING FOR` Doris Lessing `A UNIQUE AND VALUABLE BOOK.` Booklist `AN ABSORBING PAGE-TURNER` Bloomsbury Review `A MASTERPIECE` Madeleine Thien `ARRESTING` Kwame Anthony Appiah 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. A timeless coming-of-age tale, and a powerful exploration of cultural imperialism, Nervous Conditions charts Tambu`s journey to personhood in a nation that is also emerging. `With its searing observations, devastating exploration of the state of โ€not beingโ€, wicked humour and astonishing immersion into the mind of a young woman growing up and growing old before her time, the novel is a masterpiece.` Madelein Thien
