Memory is on death row in Harare, Zimbabwe for killing her guardian - who bought her from her poor parents when she was a child.

I find it difficult to rate this book. The first third was very frustrating - there were no definitive plot points, just hints and inferences to the major drama that lead Memory to her current situation. It felt like a slice of life from the prison and her childhood. It was very disjointed and difficult to follow.

The the last two sections really took off. We learnt about Memory - she grew as a character and the plot points finally fell into place. It was tragic, shocking and insightful.
