A remarkable literary debut shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize: the unflinching and powerful story of a young girl's journey out of Zimbabwe and to America. Darling is only ten years old, and yet she must navigate a fragile and violent world. In Zimbabwe, Darling and her friends steal guavas, try to get the baby out of young Chipo's belly, and grasp at memories of Before. Before their homes were destroyed by paramilitary policemen, before the school closed, before the fathers left for dangerous jobs abroad. But Darling has a chance to escape: she has an aunt in America. She travels to this new land in search of America's famous abundance only to find that her options as an immigrant are perilously few. NoViolet Bulawayo's debut calls to mind the great storytellers of displacement and arrival who have come before her -- from Junot Diaz to Zadie Smith to J.M. Coetzee -- while she tells a vivid, raw story all her own.Binding Type: Paperback

Functional Beauty!
Color: Mystery Blosoom
I am so happily surprised as to how beautiful this bag is. The quality is fantastic and it is true to the description. I got the Mystery Blossom that looks like a Midnight Beauty to me. It has all the pockets it describes and the side ones are great with elastic holding your bottle or whatever you may use them for very securely. so it is very functional. I know you would be happy to have one or morey ourself. it is very lightweight so you can put alot in it like a laptop or tablet without it weighing you down. You can use it as a shoulder/crossboday bag or carry like a tote bag. I just love it.

Nice size, lots of pockets…doesn’t last.
Color: White Daisy in Black
At first, when I purchased it in May, the only thing I didn’t like was the useless middle zipper inside of the middle main pocket. But the rest of this purse bag is awesome!
Well… after 3.5 months, ALL of the inside stitching has come undone. Put something in what you think is the pocket, it’s not a pocket… it is between the lining somewhere. All of the zippers get stuck on the threads that are from the lining.
Cute fabric, but that’s all you’ll get… cute fabric.

Good quality, GREAT price, many features
Color: Vintage Sunflowers
I was searching for an inexpensive handbag (tote) like this in brand names. The prices were unforgiveable and just crazy! As I was searching on Amazon Prime, this handbag came up. It is really pretty and has ALL the features that I was looking for: Several pockets inside and out, very attractive design for Fall, AND a good price. My only concern/complaint would be that there are more zippers than I would have liked, slip pockets for glasses and phone are my preference. A long strap is included for shoulder wear; it is made of light weight material and washable.

This bag shocked me .. in a good way!
Color: Hibiscus in Dark Blue
I have to be honest, when I removed this tote from the packaging, I said
... Nope! Going back! .. I use it for work, I'm a property mgr of many homes-so, giant Keychain, Calender spiral book, chargers, small tools, gadgets, pens, stationary etc, etc. Immediately assumed this wasn't gonna serve me purpose.. I could not have been more wrong .. Never ending pockets, zippered compartments, plenty of room for everything. Sturdy shoulder loops and a shoulder strap as well.
The print is EXACTLY as photo choice depicts and it's just a beautiful bag.
