This Mournable Body (Faber & Faber) by Zimbabwe novelist Tsitsi Dangarembga, is the final instalment in Dangarembga's Tambu trilogy which has followed Tambudzai since she was a girl in the 1960s Rhodesia, pre-independence. Now in her 30s, Tambu is trying to make a life for herself in Harare but is faced with constant obstacles that thwart her self-fulfilment and which are a metaphor for Zimbabwe as a whole.
