She reflects candidly on her discontent and disappointment with present-day South Africa but also on her experiences of family, romance, and motherhood, with the novelists talent for character and pathos. Militant young comrades dance off the pages of the 1970s Lusaka she invokes, and the heady and naive days of just-democratic South Africa in the 1990s are as vividly painted. Her memoir is at heart a chronicle of a coming-of-age, and while well-known South African political figures appear in these pages, it is an intimate story, a testament to family bonds and sisterhood. Sisonke Msimang is one of the most assured and celebrated voices commenting on the South African present  often humorously; sometimes deeply movingly  and this book launches her to an even broader audience.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49586965348625,"sku":"GOR009931112","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49921436483857,"sku":"GOR013814033","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1868428486.jpg?v=1751092283"},{"product_id":"always-another-country-book-sisonke-msimang-9781642861532","title":"Always Another Country","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA New York Times Staff Favorite and one of The Globe's 100 Favourite Books\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrutally and uncompromisingly honest, Sisonke's beautifully crafted storytelling enriches the already extraordinary pool of young African women writers of our time. --Gra a Machel, widow of former South African president Nelson Mandela\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in exile, in Zambia, to a guerrilla father and a working mother, Sisonke Msimang is constantly on the move.
