Written with energy and honesty, this powerful, thought-provoking memoir describes a life dominated by an abusive father, and explores some of the African traditional customs that are still expected of women today. Set in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Zazah Khuzwayo tells of the frustrations of growing up with a loving, intelligent but uneducated mother, who was at times able to stand up for her beliefs and ambitions for her family, but who also seemed to turn a blind eye to the verbal, physical and sexual abuse inflicted on them by her husband.
Zazah paints a picture of a difficult and painful life, but her fighting spirit and determination to stand up to her father are inspirational.
