A page turner, but a really excellent one. I think Adichie is fast becoming one of my favourite authors for her beautifully engaging writing and vivid depictions of life in Nigeria and Nigerian politics. The domestic violence scenes in this book were incredibly confronting but felt somewhat redeemed by the ending, although I was hoping that Kambili and Jaja would go to America and live with Ifeoma. This was a brilliant book and again cannot wait to read more from Adichie.
