3.5/5. Trigger warning for rape.

I had to read this for a class, and I'm really glad my professor assigned this one. She did say it was going to be sad, but I wasn't prepared for how emotionally devastating it actually was. It was beautifully written, and I'll be sure to check out Emecheta's other works in the future.
