For many who missed this book - this was Dambisa's breakout 2009 book. You either hated it or loved it.
Angry, unapologetic, tough and uncensored.

In Southern Africa they also have politically incorrect, common names for the bags - “Shangani bag” and “khonza ekhaya” (a Zulu term, meaning “goodbye home”).
Incidentally these are an easy way to shop for them online. Wherever you are.
