This Mournable Body

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for tuning in to Episode 5 of Semiscribbled Podcast.

In this pod episode, I review This Mournable Body by Tsitsi Dangarembga.

Wow! This book definitely took me through the wringer. I started out thinking I would DNF the book but I hang in there, sat in the feelings that it evoked in me and I am so glad I did because it was worth it! This book follows Tambudzai a 30 something-year-old woman living in newly independent Zimbabwe, in the capital Harare, and her quest to finally live the life she had envisioned for herself. When we begin Tambu has outlived her welcome at a women's hostel due to her age and is searching for all the things: a new place to live, a job, and a way out of the current state of life she is living. We journey with Tambu as she attempts to find her footing in life and the consequences that follow. This is one of the best books I've read in 2020. 

I listened to part of This Mournable Body via audible but this is not a sponsored episode!
