Nervous Conditions

The legacy of colonialism seems to cast a long shadow over their lives. Did anyone else feel the characters' struggles felt both personal and political?

The feminist themes are so compelling, especially given the setting. I wonder what motivated Tsitsi Dangarembga to highlight these issues through her characters.

Her desire for education and progress felt inspiring but also made me uneasy about the sacrifices she made along the way. How did others interpret her journey?
