I picked this up because I am always interested in female authors from different countries. This book was told in a different sty;es. MOst of the story is from Tolani's POV in the present about her life in Lagos, NIgeria. Other parts of the story are told from her mother's POV about the past. I liked how it shows the storyteller role in their culture.
Swallow does refer to drugs, but that is not the main focus on the story. I think it was to show the depths that a person can go if subjected to what seems to be so much injustice and inequality. Women still have a long way to go in many parts of the world. I would recommend this to those who are interested in the genre.
