This book started out like a perfectly ordinary story, then midway it twisted into something else when I realised I couldn't trust the protagonist's memories. After that , it becomes a perfectly ordinary story again.
I'm rating it a 3½ stars mainly because of the way Tunde's introspective thoughts, midway through the story, are almost poetically expressed.
