i‘m very torn on how to rate afterlives. the story was great, very interesting and i’m glad i picked it up as i learned a lot about german colonialism in east africa.
i just had a hard time getting into it due to the first half feeling a bit detached, emotionless and not very clear on where its going.
either way, it’s an impactful book with impactful characters and truly deserving of its nobel prize.
