An interesting read evoking the spiritual beliefs of Nigeria and showing how they are helping the main character survive in the world that is not that kind. An intriguing story that switches telling the narrative of everyday life in America to the spirits that are within the main character, leaving the reader to decide if the character is 'mad' with different personalities or navigating a harsh world with a spirit guide. Hard to follow in places if you're not used to this kind of narrative but interesting exploration of gender and sexuality.
