I loved Aunty Ifeoma and Amaka and the bonds they built with Kambili.
Kambili and Jaja's home life was tragic, and their family in Nsukka truly gave them an escape and allowed them to experience happiness.

I just need 10 minutes with “papa”. he had me wanting to jump into the pages and teach him a lesson or two; and i’m not even a violent person :/ i appreciated kambili’s character development.
chimamanda is an excellent writer, and i enjoyed this book so much even though i was enraged. i feel like the ending could’ve been expanded a bit more.

I am happy to report there was no need for me to worry about this.
I started reading and it just sucked me in so to speak.
and I loved it a lot
I mean it also made me sad because of what it is about and all but it was a great story and I am very glad I finally read it
