Adichie is such a masterful writer. The depth and detail in her writing and characters is so good. I really enjoyed the first half of this book and then it kind of dropped off for me. I think it was when it took a dive into the deeper bits, I started to feel the weight of it. It did teach me about the history of Nigeria, which I enjoyed. Overall, another great book, but for me, it did not compare to Purple Hibiscus or Americannah.

It was Brutal and Morbid but so beautifully written. Adichie’s writing always draws you in with such a strong force. The character development was brilliant and the descriptive nature of Adichie’s writing alwayd manages to leave me awestruck and well immersed into her books.
