Nozipo: Books Review: reading and learning and remembering - This book is intense. There are so many layers to understand and relate to things we are able to connect to our world today. It’s about strength, it is about family and tradition but most of all it is about love and learning to move forward even with pain. It teaches the story of change and embracing it even when it hurts! My granddaughter is reading it as a freshman. We have talked about in many chapters. Whether you read this book at 15 or later in life,each phase of life will see it differently. I Review: I couldn't put it down - It's a timeless letter from a Zimbabwean mother to her daughter, a student at Harvard. Each chapter contains a conversation from the mother to her daughter, giving her some life lessons, family history, folk lore so she doesn't lose her roots, her culture, and the values her family and village have instilled in her before her flight to America. She shares the lessons she learned growing up in Zimbabwe when it was Rhodesia, the segregation between the blacks and the whites, her disappointments and her hopes. What it means to be a proud citizen of Zimbabwe. She shares what she learned from her mother-in-law on her wedding day in what it means to be an African woman. She writes of the struggles by the men and women who fought for Zimbabwe's independence, including Zenzele's father, an activist lawyer and Zenzele's Aunt Linda, a guerilla fighter, and a cousin who was a spy while working as a maid. The reminiscences are poignant as they are vivid. You feel so much love flowing from each sentence you want to reach out and embrace the woman writing them tightly to your heart. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,272,654 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #264 in Epistolary Fiction (Books) #2,693 in Cultural Heritage Fiction #11,151 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (127) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.5 x 7 inches | | Edition | unknown | | ISBN-10 | 0385318227 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0385318228 | | Item Weight | 4.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 194 pages | | Publication date | April 7, 1997 | | Publisher | Delta | ## Images ![Zenzele: A Letter for My Daughter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1AQk6bxgfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reading and learning and remembering *by S***R on March 27, 2024* This book is intense.
