{"product_id":"9781868429363","title":"Always Another Country","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn her much anticipated memoir, Sisonke Msimang writes about her exile childhood in Zambia and Kenya, young adulthood and college years in North America, and returning to South Africa in the euphoric 1990s. She reflects candidly on her discontent and disappointment with present-day South Africa but also on her experiences of family, romance, and motherhood, with the novelist's talent for character and pathos.\u003cbr\u003eMilitant young comrades dance off the pages of the 1970s Lusaka she invokes, and the heady and naive days of just-democratic South Africa in the 1990s are as vividly painted. Her memoir is at heart a chronicle of a coming-of-age, and while well-known South African political figures appear in these pages, it is an intimate story, a testament to family bonds and sisterhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSisonke Msimang is one of the most assured and celebrated voices commenting on the South African present - often humorously; sometimes deeply movingly - and this book launches her to an even broader audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Sisonke+Msimang\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eSisonke Msimang\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sisonke Msimang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377197858979,"sku":"9781868429363","price":280.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781868429363_20faa0a9-ac53-4af6-bba3-4190ff4a3d41.jpg?v=1776604560","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781868429363","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
