While I can understand people who dislike this novel in relation to the previous books, I am not one of them. The second person narration highlights Tambu's disconnect from not just her community and country, but also from the woman she has been forced to grow into by the forces around her. A quietly disordered, evocative read and one made all the more poignant following on from Nervous Conditions and The Book of Not.
