The Book Of Memory by Petina Gappah

A sharp, morally complex first-person account by a woman on death row in Zimbabwe who, awaiting execution, pieces together her past—from a poor rural upbringing and work as a domestic in the city to the tangled relationships and misunderstandings that led to her conviction—blending wry humor and elegiac reflection to interrogate memory, identity, justice, and the legacies of colonialism.
