nayrt and it's not ya but i rly enjoyed nervous conditions by tsitsi dangarembga. it's set in 1960's rhodesia (zimbabwe) just before the revolution, and it's a coming-of-age tale about a girl trying to get her education, navigate her relationships w/ her family around racism and sexism and colonialism, etc. there are a bunch of different women in her family, and following their relationships & stories is really interesting

tw racism, misogyny, dv, eating disorders (and I think that's it?)

i've never met anyone else who's read it, but the first line is semi famous:

"I was not sorry when my brother died."
