En realidad es 4.5, pero me ayudó a reconectar con la lectura, que me había costado en el contexto pandemia, así que por eso le doy 5. Es un culebrón de más de 500 páginas, pero que se lee rapidísimo. Hay amor, desamor, engaño, desengaño, racismo, clasismo, brujería, problemas de hermanas, familias de mierda, violencia, sadismo. Y todo esto en el contexto de una guerra civil. Si lo leen lo van a pasar bien. Lo que no me convenció es que uno de los personajes que debería ser clave en la historia, que provoca uno de los conflictos principales, encontré que estaba muy mal desarrollado.

La guerra del Biafra dal punto di vista di chi l’ha vissuta, ci ha creduto ed è rimasto sconfitto.
Molto bello

Let's start of with the fact that I adore Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's writing so, so much. Her characters have depth and emotion, and she does a phenomenal job of bringing the reader in to their experiences.

But I did not realize I was getting myself into an 18 how audiobook with this one.

But wow, what a story.
A civil war. Romance. Betrayal. Family dynamics. Incredible. I was riveted throughout the entire book.
