challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

Can’t remember the last time I was so gut punched by a book - I’ve read some truly heavy/sad subject matter and while it does impact me, I can’t remember the last time I truly sobbed after finishing the final page of a book. For the record I wouldn’t necessarily categorize this as a “sad” novel, but just so heart-achingly emotional. The ending is such a release, I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days.

My first 5 star Read of 2024! This book will really stay with me for a long time (excuse the pun!) The characters had so much depth to them and the plot kept me guessing throughout, I did not expect the ending or any of the twists. It was beautifully written and kept me hooked throughout. It of course deals with some heavy themes of child loss, familial abuse and political turbulence in the landscape of 1980s Nigeria but it had a hopeful ending and I recommend everyone to read this!
