Synopsis of This Mournable Body
En esta tensa novela de carga psicológica, Tsitsi Dangarembga canaliza la esperanza y el potencial de una joven y una nación incipiente para llevarnos en un viaje para descubrir a dónde van las vidas después de que la esperanza se ha ido. Aquí conocemos a Tambudzai, que vive en un albergue juvenil en el centro de Harare y está ansiosa por sus perspectivas después de dejar un trabajo estancado. En cada intento de hacer una vida para sí misma, se enfrenta a una nueva humillación, hasta que el doloroso contraste entre el futuro que imaginó y su realidad cotidiana la lleva a un punto de ruptura.
