The story starts by depicting Kambili's father, Eugene, as a perfect and rich servant to the community. A humble person one should aspire to. Because of this Kambili feels she needs to make him proud over herself happy.
I love how over the course of the book it begins to show the abusive nature of her father and Kambili becomes more her own person.
Such a powerful story and even though Kambili can be annoying, her experiences growing up can be so very relatable.
The reader is held hostage throughout the book unable to put such a masterpiece down.
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Child abuse, and Religious bigotry
