This book is able to uniquely blend the woes and pleasures of everyday life with the gut wrenching reality of war. It doesn’t mince words, but I feel like that’s beauty in it. I loved that you got know the characters and truly understood who they were, their desires and dreams outside of the context of war. It made it all that more heartbreaking. I would definitely recommend this book to history lovers and those who love to really dig into a story.

It wasn’t the most gripping book I have ever read, but I knew nothing about Biafra so for me the book was more of an educational tool than a pleasurable read. It is very well researched and written.
