This book was well done. I could tell throughout reading that the author definitely had a few skills up her sleeves. It just didn’t strike much chord with me at all. The first 80% percent of the book was great and even though it being a concept/genre I would usually never pick up on my own I was still engaged. The last 10% lost me. Everything the author did before then seemed so purposeful and at the end I just wasn’t satisfied or or felt like I matched the rest of the book. A lot of great development of characters and relationships that went a thrown out in the garbage by the end.
I would still recommend if your really interested in the story or if your into a concise writing style that mostly just gets to the point
Also I really think describing the grandfathers limp cocoon was unnecessary

I read this one in the span of one day, so it is a telling sign of how brilliant I found the story telling. Really remarkable story told from the perspective of a teenage Nigerian girl, wrestling with issues of politics, religion, patriarchy, and finding one's voice. The father is a complicated figure and his decisions and actions greatly impact everyone he touches, with varying levels of consequences or rewards. It left to me to ponder this question: What makes a person good? No doubt I will read this one again . . . and again. Highly recommend.
