a beautiful read, like the rest of Adichie's works, as a debut I felt it was a compelling read, where this compellingness develops in her later works like Half of a yellow Sun and Americanah - characters are fleshed out and plot and characters are well constructed. Not to say this read wasn't. It was a very satisfying read in a sense.

Den beskriver tydligt men öppet. Flera av karaktärerna får mycket utveckling vilket är en bra del. Tillexempel får vi läsa hur papas utbrott och arga handlingar växer. Amakas uppfattning och inställning till Kambili förändras. Allt känns väldigt realistiskt också, som att jag läser en biografi fast det är skönlitteratur.
Det är en bok som gör allt rätt men endå inte passar mig. Det kan va att jag läst den i skolsammanhang som gjort att jag inte hunnit bilda en egen uppfattning av vad jag tycker om den.
