Tambu has a right to feel angry at Babamukuru for putting her parents out there as a show of his wealth and also for pretty much blaming them for all of the family problems, but she ends up not being mad, or as mad really, at him after she realizes who she's getting mad at, which is annoying because sure Babamukuru is this educated smart man but everyone needs opinions and needs to be able to say what they think without fear of punishment, right??
And then there is the Lucia/Takesure drama which is totally understandable-- why would you, a woman who can do her own work and is beautiful, want to be stuck with this useless man at this house where your sister's husband wants you too?? Anyways, then Tambu's mom fusses at Lucia for trying to get her out of the homestead and she points out good points such as it doesnt matter what she wants and such because that's how the culture is and then she has her baby-- which is awesome and there's all that family stuff and Lucia gets a job-- which I think was smart of her to do because now she can stay with her sister and make money and not have to deal with takesure and that's all pretty awesome.
Then Nyasha is smart when she says to appreciate and thank Babamukuru but not make him to be a hero because it's like feeding his ego and power and such and he'll be more likely-- as if he isn't already-- to want people to listen to all that he says for no other reason really than that he is Babamukuru. Tambu needs to stand up to him too because its her parents that are getting married and when she finally does she gets beaten which is Babamukuru really being a jerk for her not wanting to go and see her parents be made into some joke- as she thinks the wedding a big one.
Maiguru did the right thing, in my opinion, by leaving and staying away but then Babamukuru brought her back. Why would he do such a thing--- he's the one who let her go in the first place and so I mean there's tons of drama in this book... jeez.
Long post for a long chapter
