i am in love with dangarembga’s prose. she is so good at drawing on a universal and ancestral type of anger associated with being a girl or a woman, but also very skillfully illustrates the hyper-rationalization we (i use “we” nebulously, i mean the narrator, but also myself, but also women, but also am hesitant to make so sweeping an assertion) must undergo constantly to continue on living.
