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. A powerfully insightful novel from "South Africa's
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie" (The Bookseller), Evening Primrose
explores issues of race, gender, and the medical profession
with tenderness and urgency.
