I am currently reading Nervous Conditions by TsiTsi Dangarembga. This lady talks about growing up in the village. I could totally identify with most of her experiences, especially the part where they are eating lots of those rare foodstuffs over christmas, having an uncle who is a teacher and lives in a nice house on the school compound... snobbish cousins etc etc. While reading the book I was actually transposed to the village some several decades ago. Very interesting!
