About this product
Product Information
A powerfully insightful novel from one of the foremost voices of South Africa's "Born Free" generation, Evening Primrose explores issues of race, gender, and the medical profession with tenderness and urgency. "Matlwa's voice is one we need." --Rowan Hisayo Buchanan "Matlwa is South Africa's Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie." --Rosie Rowell, The Bookseller " Written in delicate prose recalling Zinzi Clemmons's What We Lose, this raw, honest work draws readers into Masechaba's South African world." -- Library Journal (Starred Review) When Masechaba finally achieves her childhood dream of becoming a doctor, her ambition is tested as she faces the stark reality of South Africa's public health-care system. As she leaves her deeply religious mother and makes friends with the politically-minded Nyasha, Masechaba's eyes are opened to the rising xenophobic tension that carries echoes of apartheid. Battling her inner demons, she must decide if she should take a stand to help her best friend, even if it comes at a high personal cost.

Reviews
Tackles more than many books twice its length. Masechaba addresses her diaries to God. And because God knows all, she hides nothing. The pages are raw. This is the best kind of political novel, one where the author allows her characters a full and complicated humanity. Evening Primose 's turns of emotion are virtuosic. The novel dances from satire to slapstick to stabbing pain to tentative hope. Matlwa's voice is one we need.

No problems with delivery but I can see what people think there should be more padding. Thankfully the post was not rough with my parcel. It arrived before the estimated date range, which was great. There were some old stickers on the dustjacket that took a couple of hours to completely remove but otherwise it was in very good condition.
