4.5

What a book! It's completely different from what I'm used to reading, a contemporary story in Nigeria.

The story talks about relationships, grief, betrayals, lies, respect, family, emotions and silences.

It also talks about, more concretely, of a woman and a man who wants to have children and have to battle obstacle after obstacle, outside and inside their marriage.
