This was so painful 😣. Tadjo is a brilliant writer because she captures the horror, pain and grief of the Ebola epidemic in this book. Even more brilliant is how she uses such non-traditional perspectives (e.g the baobab tree, bat, even the Ebola virus). I enjoyed this one quite much, even as painful as it was.
