I had a lot of troubles reading this book. If it weren't required as part of a school assignment to read a book from an African country (of which I chose Swaziland), I definitely would not have been able to finish it. The main problem is that the narration is not consistent. Yes, it's a memoir from one point of view throughout the whole story, but the text is a boring recital of daily school-tasks in Swaziland. For people interested in Swaziland's more prominent cultural differences, you'll learn about them, but they'll be supplemented in between 20 pages of filler and non-concise writing. I feel as if Sarah felt obliged to write a 180 page novel on Swaziland because nobody else had, but to be completely honest, the story deserved only 100-120 pages. The second biggest problem is the editing... Constant typos, discontinuities, and malapropisms make the book difficult to take seriously. I don't know if it was translated from Swati language, but something went wrong.Don't get me wrong, the book wasn't all bad -- if it was it wouldn't have gotten 3 stars. Sarah Mkhonza does a fairly good job of conveying how school in Swaziland goes. Unspoken high school behaviours, cultural differences, and the interactions between student and professor are all very clearly highlighted, and those interactions comprise the main portion of the stories told. Being a Ph.D recipient, I can't immediately discount the book, and very quickly in, she sets up a beautiful metaphorical reflection of the locals' view on Swaziland. In the extended metaphor of "Weeding the Flowerbeds" throughout the story, I can only assume the line "I liked their rareness and hated their abundance" (Mkhonza 10) can only be in reference to the Swazi people and how they are too centralized within their own territory. Mkhonza's writing ability is obviously very strong, yet the story keeps her from displaying its full potential. There are sections, conveyed through Bulelo's thought, through which Mkhonza speaks directly to the reader, and some of the thoughts are fairly profound -- not just for a young Swazi girl.If you're looking for some cultural incite on Swaziland and don't mind skimming through unnecessary text, this book does a fairly good job.

As I continue my around the world in reading travels, I've found it harder and harder to find books for some of the more random countries. Swaziland is one of those countries - no, not Switzerland (I swear, I can spell), but Swaziland, a small country in southern Africa. But when I was browsing other blogs, I found someone else doing an around the world challenge and she also read this book as part of her challenge. It wasn't an easy book to find (I eventually had to cave and buy it from Amazon), but it was an interesting read.A fictionalized memoir of three girls in a church run boarding school, it details their adventures over several years, as they progress through the levels prior to graduation. I liked the idea of the book, however, to me the execution was lacking. There was quite a bit of redundancy in the writing (repeating the same information in multiple places in the same chapter) and some times where what is being said is contradicted in the next paragraph (for example, in one paragraph she is doing push-ups, then talking about how she did the best in that set of sit-ups and then back to talking about push-ups). I think this is something that a good editor could have fixed - but as the author is a professor herself, I don't know how much it was edited prior to release. I do find it interesting that there are very few reviews for the book out there (zero on Amazon, 1 on goodreads - aside from mine).I think this is a good read if someone is interested in learning about life in the smaller African countries and the role that the various religious organizations have played in the developing nations. however, because of issues that I had with it, I can't give it more than 2.5 stars, but rounding up to 3 for amazon.
