Well, so far I am not enjoying this book, but hopefully I will warm up to it later... so anyways... Chapter 1:
I understood how the urbanization was good for some and annoying to others like Nhamo and how Nhamo ended up feeling embarrassed of his way of life back home. The girl's feelings seem to be everywhere at once-- her missing her brother, her disliking him for never coming home, her feeling relieved when he doesn't, and so on.
I don't really understand where they are in relation to England or the school or who really has started the urbanization with all the shops and music and soda and such. All of the characters seem to work hard on the farm/ in school and are obedient. The society is patriarchal as shown with Nhamo liking how he can make his little sisters do his chores and beat them if they don't.
Hopefully in the 2nd chapter some things will get better explained and (hopefully) the book will get better, sorry but that's my opinion..
So.. yep, on to chapter 2!
